  • Title: Leukemoid reaction induced by different transplantable tumors in three inbred mouse strains.
    Author: Castillo R, Díaz JW, Veloso A, Gavilondo J.
    Journal: Neoplasma; 1982; 29(1):73-9. PubMed ID: 7070557.
    Abstract:
    We have studied the induction of a granulocyte-associated leukocytosis (leukemoid reaction) in C3HA, C57B1/6, and DBA/2 mice by a number of transplantable tumors of different origin. Leukemia L1210, Hepatoma 22, a transplantable mammary carcinoma of spontaneous C3HA origin, and a L929 culture fibroblasts-derived rhabdomyosarcoma, all induced a leukemoid reaction in their specific mouse strain. Melanoma B16 and Lewis lung carcinoma gave no reaction; Adenocarcinoma 755 and Harding-Passey melanoma evoked a leukocytosis but not due to an increase in neutrophils. Some extratumoral factors can influence the hematological response; the intensity of final leukemoid reaction was higher in female mice than in males bearing the same tumor. On the other hand, Ehrlich ascites tumor transplanted in all three inbred mouse strains rendered different levels of leukemoid reaction; response was higher in DBA/2, intermediate in C3HA and lower in C57B1/6.
