[Sensitivity of mice to systemic hyperthermia: effect of ascites tumor cell transplants]. 1986

W Nakamura, and K Komatsu

The effect of a transplantation of mastocytoma cells in the abdominal cavity on the sensitivity of mice to a systemic hyperthermia was studied. The systemic hyperthermia was induced by exposing whole-body of animals to 2,450 MHz waves under anesthesia. Core body temperature was raised up to 42.0 +/- 0.2 degrees C in 15 min and maintained constant at the temperature for variable length of time. Thermosensitivity of animal was expressed with LD50, 42 degrees which was the length of heating time at the temperature of 42 degrees C lethal for 50% of the animals examined. The transplants were mastocytoma FMA3 cells. They were transplanted at a dose of 10(5) cells per mouse. The LD50, 42 degrees observed 3, 12 hrs, 1, 2, 3 and 6 days after the transplantation was 33, 23, 17, 24 and 35 min, respectively. In mice without tumor it was 43 min.

D013045	Species Specificity	The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
