Abstract

Plasmacytomas were readily induced in BALB/c mice by three bimonthly i.p. injections of 0.5 ml pristane or paraffin oil. Additionally, two groups of mice were simultaneously given a prolonged antigenic stimulation with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The tumour incidence found in mice treated with pristane and BSA (75%) was higher than the plasmacytoma incidence in mice subjected to paraffin oil and BSA inoculations (53.7%, p = 0.05). The sustained antigenic stimulation with BSA had no effect on cumulative plasmacytoma incidence.
