Abstract

WHILE observing the presence of characteristic particles in the milks and breast tumours of certain high-breast-cancer strains of mice1,2 and establishing the relationship between these particles and Bittner's milk factor3,4, we have been applying the same procedures to the study of comparable human material. A preliminary report was presented to the Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland at Oxford in July 1949.
