Synergistic Action of Estrogenic Hormone and X-rays in Inducing Thymic Lymphosarcoma of Mice.

Abstract

Synergistic lymphomogenic effects were obtained when estrogenic hormone and x-rays were administered simultaneously to mice of the Bagg albino and CBA stocks. Thymic lymphoid tissue appeared to be more sensitive than other lymphoid tissue. This was also true when x-rays and methylcholan-threne acted synergistically in the dba stock.
