Epithelial Origin of Polyoma Salivary Tumors in Mice: Evidence Based on Chromosome-Marked Cells
1 Laboratory of Pathology and Human Cell Biology Branch, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland 20014
Trypsin dissection of epithelium from mesenchyme of salivary gland rudiments allows reassembly of glands having either epithelium or mesenchyme selectively marked by T6 chromosomes. Virus-induced tumors in such glands invariably bear the karyotype of the epithelial component. The method solves a specific example from a group of classical problems concerning epithelial as opposed to mesenchymal origin of neoplasms.
