THE CARCINOGENIC EFFECT OF A PAPILLOMA VIRUS ON THE TARRED SKIN OF RABBITS

I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PHENOMENON

Peyton Rous 1, John G Kidd 1
PMCID: PMC2180321  PMID: 19870729

Abstract

The Shope papilloma virus elicits carcinomas forthwith, as well as papillomas in great variety, when it is distributed by way of the blood stream to the tarred epidermis of domestic rabbits. The phenomenon will be analyzed in succeeding papers with the aid of additional instances.
