Distribution of Tritiated Thymidine about a Capillary Sinusoid in a Transplanted Mouse Tumour

Nature volume 196, pages 282–283 (1962)Cite this article

Abstract

DURING an investigation of the uptake of tritiated thymidine by mouse tumour tissue, fortuitous sections of tumour were found showing a large capillary sinusoid cut along its long axis for a distance of 2,000µ. Autoradiographs of these sections showed concentric zones of labelled cells, unlabelled cells morphologically intact, and necrotic tumour cells, at increasing distances from the capillary.
