Specific induction of erythroleukemia and myelogenous leukemia in Sprague-Dawley rats. 1982

C B Huggins, and L Grand, and N Ueda

The experimental induction of leukemias of two sorts by two powerful chemical carcinogens was investigated in rats of a single strain. In Sprague-Dawley rats a series of intravenous injections of N-nitroso-N-methylurea selectively elicited myelogenous leukemia in high yields, whereas erythroleukemia was not evoked. Conversely, a set of intravenous injections of 7,8,12-trimethylbenz[a]anthracene specifically elicited erythro-leukemia in high incidence in the rats, whereas myelogenous leukemia was not produced.

D006400 Hematocrit The volume of packed RED BLOOD CELLS in a blood specimen. The volume is measured by centrifugation in a tube with graduated markings, or with automated blood cell counters. It is an indicator of erythrocyte status in disease. For example, ANEMIA shows a low value; POLYCYTHEMIA, a high value.
