The incidence of regression of wing-web tumors induced by Rous sarcoma virus was shown to be dependent on the quantity of thymus tissue remaining after neonatal thymectomy in chickens of inbred line 6. Frequency of metastasis was associated negatively with the amount of thymus tissue present. Tumor regression and metastasis restriction both appeared dependent on the quantity of thymic tissue present.
结果表明，劳氏肉瘤病毒诱导的鸡翅肿瘤消退发生率取决于近交系6雏鸡新生期胸腺切除后剩余胸腺组织的数量。转移频率与现存胸腺组织量呈负相关。肿瘤消退和转移受限似乎都取决于现存胸腺组织的数量。
