Abstract

CDF1 mice were allowed to breathe either oxygen, carbogen or different concentrations of carbon monoxide gas. These treatments significantly altered the percentage of clonogenic hypoxic cells in a C3H mouse mammary carcinoma and these changes were found to correlate with direct measurements of tumour oxygenation obtained using an Eppendorf pO2 electrode.
