Summary Renal tumours, obtained after nephrectomy, were subjected to in vitro study of the incorporation rate of C 14-8-adenine into nucleic acid bases.-In 10 examples of renal cell carcinoma, the incorporation rate into adenine and guanine were 2.01x10-2 (cpm/umole base) and 1.83x10-2 for DNA, and 3.00x10-2 and 2.83x10-2 for RNA. The incorporation rate in renal pelvic tumour was rather higher than that in renal cell carcinoma. It was demonstrated that the incorporation rate in Wilms tumour was highest.-These incorporation rates provide an index of the biological activity of the tumour cells.
