Incidence of lung tumours with increasing age in serially killed control and X-irradiated CBA male mice. animals, the term papillonephritis, as defined by Dunn (1944), is thought to be most applicable. The effect of the radiation treatment on the series of developmental changes leading to papillonephritis, as seen in the control mice, is different, yet again, from the other examples quoted above. From 6 months of age, when the first pathological changes become visible, the steady.
