Induction of plasma cell tumours with 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane (pristane) and paraffin oil (paraffinum perliquidum) in BALB/c mice simultaneously exposed to sustained antigenic stimulation with bovine serum albumin (BSA). 1987

S Janz, and W Püschel, and F Raabe, and H Storch

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.

D009821 Oils Unctuous combustible substances that are liquid or easily liquefiable on warming, and are soluble in ether but insoluble in water. Such substances, depending on their origin, are classified as animal, mineral, or vegetable oils. Depending on their behavior on heating, they are volatile or fixed. (Dorland, 28th ed)
D010232 Paraffin A mixture of solid hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum. It has a wide range of uses including as a stiffening agent in ointments, as a lubricant, and as a topical anti-inflammatory. It is also commonly used as an embedding material in histology. Parafilm
