Summary
The authors studied the morphology of connective tissue explants in rats subjected to the combined effect of methylcholanthrene and extract of cancer tissue of human lung.
In 4 months and more, stable changes of the growth zone structure were revealed, as well as a large number of multinuclear giant cells.
These changes were retained during culture for two years.
It is suggested that malignant change occurred in the connective tissue cultures of rats.
