| [an experimental study on srca (subrenal capsule assay)--comparison of the test between normal and nude mice]. | six-day srca using normal mice developed by bogden et al. is a promising in vivo chemosensitivity test. however, this method has a problem on the influence of the host reaction. we compared the tumor growth kinetics and host reaction between normal and nude mice. the tumor diameter increased until day 6 in normal and day 16 in nude mice, but the histological finding revealed many host reactive cells and few viable tumour cells on day 6 in normal mice, and well preserved tumour cells on day 16 in ... | 2012 | 3348635 |
