Abstract
The viability of mouse kidney tissues, assessed quantitatively by growth in a plasma-free medium, was shown to depend on the state of the donor. Growth of the cultures was inhibited after whole-body x-ray irradiation of the donors, prolonged starvation, or poisoning with cadmium chloride. Increased growth of the culture was observed if compensatory hypertrophy of the kidney had developed as a result of unilateral nephrectomy, and also after subcutaneous inflammation.
