Popis: Extirpated specimens of a squamous cell carcinoma from a human thigh were transplanted to the subcutaneous tissue of nude mice. Fourteen days later, the transplanted tumor masses were, again, extirpated from the nude mice. The transplanted chimera of the squamous cell carcinoma as seen with the electron microscope resembled the tumor cells before transplantation. It is concluded that ultrastructural investigation of transplanted chimera from squamous cell carcinoma cases may be useful for examining the site of action and clinical effects of anticancer drugs on this kind of tumor.
