Abstract
The serum of rats collected at various time intervals after application of a single dose of 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) stimulates the incorporation of 3H-thymidine into the DNA of cultured thymocytes of rats, mice and hamsters. This reaction shows a clear dose-response relationship. The serum activity is dialysable and relatively thermostable.
