متن کاملComparative Oncogenic Properties of Deoxyribonucleic Acid from Primary Parotid Gland Tumors, Passage Parotid Gland Tumors, and Polyoma Virus.
was demonstrated that deoxyribonucleic acid extracted from mouse parotid gland tumors and inoculated into newborn AKR mice resulted in a high incidence of these tumors and epithelioid thymomas in animals of 3—4months of age. The oncogenic properties of the nucleic acid were abolished by incubation with deoxyribonuclease but not by ribonuclease. It was not clear from these studies whether the ...
