Teratomas have been induced in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) by intra-testicular injections of 3% zinc chloride solution during a period of testicular growth artificially stimulated by increased photoperiod. These tumours resemble those previously induced by similar methods in domestic fow1 and have histological features in common with spontaneous testicular teratomas in man.
在人工延长光照周期刺激睾丸生长的时期,通过向日本鹌鹑(Coturnix coturnix Japonica)睾丸内注射3%的氯化锌溶液诱导出了畸胎瘤。这些肿瘤类似于之前在家禽中用类似方法诱导出的肿瘤,并且具有与人类自发性睾丸畸胎瘤相同的组织学特征。
