A New Model of Experimental Hydrocephalus (Part II)

—Results of Experiments to Determine Its Causal Genesis—

Abstract

In the previous paper (Part I), an experimental model of hydrocephalus produced by inoculating cells derived from a human brain tumor into the brain of mice was described, with emphasis on the method of preparation and histological findings.
In this paper (Part II), hydrocephalus produced by inoculated cells such as RGC-6 cells and Hela-S3 cells into the brain of mice is described. Hydrocephalus was not produced by the inoculation of culture medium or dead cells. However, homogenized Hela-S3 cells produced hydrocephalus. The causal genesis is still unknown.
