Induced or spontaneous hepatomas arising in inbred mice were transplanted subcutaneously into from 1 to 4 members of their strains of origin. Of 36 hepatomas which grew in first generation hosts, 31 were propagated through 2 to 15 transplant generations, while 5 failed to grow after 1 to 6 transplant generations. Most of the successfully propagated hepatomas failed to grow in all recipients. Of 8 epatomas induced with carbon-tetrachloride (56235), none grew in new hosts.
