Genetically determined resistance to 3-methylcholanthrene-induced lymphoma is expressed at the level of bone marrow-derived cells

PMCID: PMC2189594  PMID: 3598466

Abstract

Reciprocal bone marrow transfers were performed between mouse strains sensitive or resistant to 3-methylcholanthrene-induced thymic lymphoma. Sensitivity and resistance are properties inherent in bone marrow, and cannot be altered by maturation of marrow in an environment of the opposite phenotype.
