Patterns of free amino acids determined by two-dimensional paper chromatography were
studied in a variety of mouse tumors, comparing the neoplasms in several cases with the
normal homologous tissues. It was found that each normal tissue examined had a
distribution of free amino acids characteristic for that tissue, while all of the tumors,
regardless of derivation or source, showed very similar patterns.
