Variable response of spleen to Ehrlich's tumor according to the physical form (ascitic or solid) of the tumor

Summary This study confirms the absence of splenomegaly in mice carrying Ehrlich's ascites; however, it reveals the presence of marked splenomegaly in mice bearing the same tumor in the solid state. Thus, the physical form of the tumor is an important factor when evaluating the host's response toward Ehrlich's tumor.Supported in part by a grant from the National Cancer Institute (CA 17944-3).
