Disciplining Cancer: Mice and the Practice of Genetic Purity

Abstract

So, the first thing you should do, I should say, in spending your money would be to insure a constant and adequate supply of controlled, known animal material on which investigations could be carried out ... if that work has to be done with them [the animals] then there has got to be knowledge of how to produce animals which are nearly as uniform as it is possible for any living higher animal to be. In other words, we can produce as nearly a chemically pure animal and as nearly alike fellows as it is possible to produce ... during this past year the little laboratory where I work has sent out over 65 000 such animals all over the United States and to Europe for research in cancer and in other experimental medicine. There is a tremendous demand for them. So the first thing to do in the spending of this money would be to have under governmental control, or at least see that there is an insurance of, a definite certainty of the availability of animal material of a controlled nature. 1 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
