Nitrosamine-induced transplantable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in inbred Syrian hamsters. 1981

W F Sindelar, and C C Kurman

A pancreatic ductal carcinoma, designated CBP, was established as a transplantable tumor line in the CB/SsLak inbred strain of Syrian golden hamsters. The tumor, a primary one induced by chronic administration of the nitrosamine N-nitro-bis(2-hydroxyproyl) amine, is a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma that can be propagated by transplantation in syngeneic hamsters. It grows poorly in other hamster strains. The CBP tumor develops in a predictable quantitative manner and metastasizes to regional lymph nodes. Excision of primary transplanted tumor nodules leads to immunity against subsequent secondary tumor challenges. The CBP tumor appears to be a suitable model for biologic and immunologic studies of pancreatic carcinoma in the syrian hamster.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007114	Immunization	Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D010190	Pancreatic Neoplasms	Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).
