Abstract A transplantable: mammary gland tumour arising spontaneously in a A/Sn female mouse was used as a base to produce a high-metastatic line. During intramuscular passages the percentage of mice with lung metastases did not exceed 10%. The method of successive selective subcutaneous transplantations of metastatic cells into the tail was used for creating a high-metastatic tumour line. The frequency of lung metastasizing was about 50% even after 2 passages, the level of 90% being reached within the further three passages. The selection effectiveness was also manifested by the fact that after twenty selective passages the intra-muscular inoculation of tumour cells resulted in the appearance of lung metastases in 50% of recipients.
