The problen submitted appears to be c continuation of the work
initiated by Mr, Burke, in association with others, at the Ovk Ridge
laboretorics,
There is nothing novel or fundamental in the epproach
proposed, though the experience in the Biophysics Departnent of this
institution in preserving living cells in the frozen state (-190°C),
and the experience with ascites tunor suggests that the proposed study
of the radio sensitivity of an ascites tumor in vitro would be well
carried out, Although no najor contribution is to be expected, and the
results of this investigation can be predicted from the many data already
available in the literature, it seems worthmwhile to support this project,
The sum requested appears excessive; it is difficult to justify
the sclories for both a full-time technician and an animal coretaker,
The research fellow and part-time animal attendant should be quite
adequate to cerry out the work planned, Therefore, approval at the
level of $4,500 ~ $5,000 is recommended,
