At four months postinitiation, the pancreata were quantitatively examined for the number and size of preneoplastic foci.

Previous work showed that hamster and human pancreatic tumors but not normal pancreata exhibit low-affinity cell-membrane receptors for luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH).

Finally, a ligature to secure the cannula is not necessary and fat and lymph nodes need not be removed from the isolated pancreata. Once removed from the animal, the tissue is ready to be digested. As the procedure must also be performed quickly to prevent tissue degradation, pancreata should not be isolated from more than 15 mice at a time. With two surgeons, up to 30 pancreata can be isolated without compromising islet yield.
