Summary By means of the explant technique a series of primary tumours induced by methylnitrosourea (MNU) or ethylnitrosourea (ENU) in the brain of rats were cultured in vitro. The morphology of isomorphic oligodendrogliomas, astrocytomas, glioblastomas and sarcomas under in vitro conditions is described. All these neoplasias show a very distinct morphological picture and growth behaviour, thus permitting their classification. Most of the tumours tend to anaplastic changes during longer cultivation, but in some cases, preferably in well differentiated gliomas, the cytological properties are maintained even during longterm cultivation. The role of anaplasia and intermingling of different neoplastic cell types in experimental tumours are discussed.
