[Oncological characteristics of AKR/JY mice]

The oncological characteristic of AKR/J mice widely used in experimental investigations is presented. The incidence of spontaneous hemoblastoses in this subline is sufficiently high during the last ten years, that allows to use this subline as an experimental model of hemoblastoses. The analysis of the influence of sex factors, age and vaccination on the rate of spontaneous tumours of the lymphoid tissue is given.
