Groups of six BALB/c mice each were intravenously inoculated with lethal doses of Ba-P210 (B210) or 12B1 cells and examined by autopsy, histology, special staining methods, enzyme histochemistry and immunohistochemistry. Clinical symptoms related to neoplasia consisted of a poor nutritional state, anaemia, mild to moderate dehydration and apathy. Paresis was apparent in three mice inoculated with 12B1 cells. Necropsy revealed splenomegaly in all animals. Sporadic haemorrhages in the lungs and enlargement of some lymph nodes were seen in some of the animals. Histological examination showed neoplastic cells in the spleen, in the bone marrow of the sternum, in the lung interstitium and in sinusoids of the liver in all mice. In six of nine brains examined, mild to moderate infiltration by neoplastic cells was observed. In all but two mice mild infiltration of the kidneys was found. The enlargement of lymph nodes was caused by an accumulation of neoplastic cells. The paresis was due to neoplastic infiltration of the vertebra, epidural space and spinal roots. Staining with Sudan black revealed cytoplasmic granules in neoplastic cells; however, the peroxidase reaction was negative. Numerous neoplastic cells disseminated in the red pulp of the spleen were reactive with CD3, CD79beta, CD11b and with neutrophil antibodies. We classified the disease induced by both of the cell lines as acute myeloid undifferentiated leukaemia (AML MO).
