321 Introduction Hamsters are desirable test sub3eccs for tobacco smoke-inhalation studies because they have a much greater' resistance to toxic effects of nicotine than rats or mice (BERNFELJ and UOMBUP.GER, 1972). 2 strains of inbred hamsters (BIO hamsters from Telaco, Bar Harbor, Maine) were used in the present study in order to achieve reproducibility of re- sults and to detect possible strain-related differences in response to tobacco smoke. Materials and Methods 2 strains, the 810 87.20 and BIO 15.16, :+ere selected for chronic toxicity experiments. All animals we:ched 108 : 4 q at the teginning of the chronic studies. Only males were :,sed, r.oused in groups of 6 in 12 x 14 x 6.5-inch polypropylene cages. San-I-Cel, Deodor grade, was used as bedding material. The ani-ai rccm tumperature was kept between 720 and 760F. Fluorescent bulbs were tne only light source and were automatically controlled to operate tetaeen 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. The animals received ::ayne Mouse Breeder Blox and fresh tap water ad li5it::m. Modified Walton reverse smoking ^ac.`.ines were used, as described elsewhere iHOFFw',:;:: and t:1":CER, 19-01. In :ncse machines, air is pushed through lighted cigarettes by applying positive pressure at the burning end. All animals wore well fitting, perranently-actac.".ed, felt rings around their necks (3/16" thick, 2" outside diamet.r, and 5/8-3/i" inside diameter, depending on the size of the hans:er). The felt rings were reinforced on both sides by thin, ring-snapid aluminum plates of slightly smaller dimensions (1-7/8" outside diameter and 15/16" inside diameter). The heads of the animals were Lnser:,j into the smoking machine by means of these collars, so that only their heads were in contact with the smoke. The bodies remained outside the machine, firr,- ly restrained ty the collars, thus eliminating the need to confine the animals in tubes with attendant excessi:e s.cating and stress. 6 animals could be exposed simultaneously to smcRe inhalation. Since the felt collars prevented the animals :rom groor•.inq their eyes, these were washed with penicillin solution on a co:tcn swat once a day, 5 days/week. Only 1R1 Kentucky Reference cigarettes were used. They are produced by, and were obtained from, the University of Kcntucky, Tobacco and Health Research Institute, Kentucky Researcn Foindation. Compositions of the Reference cigarette (1R1) at 12i moisture were as follows (ATKINSON, 1970): flue-cured lamina, 40.11: fl.+e-cured stem, 14.2t; Burley lamina, 24.9%; Turkish (whole lcaf), 11.61; Maryland lamina, 1.11; glycerine, 2.81; invert sucrose, 5.3%. Smoke was generated from 4 cigarettes burning simultaneously, and was administered to the animals in a 60-second ru.'f cycle. Each cycle con- sisted of a 2-second period of smoKe genuratlon followed by a 15-second period of additional smoke exposure and a41-second period of exposure to fresh air. During the 2-second period of smoke generation, 35 ml of air was push- ed through each of the 4 cigarettes, ;•ivldine) a total volume of 140 ml ~ CTR NN 042=582

smoke which was introduced into the 725 r•1 expes::re cr.arter. A-a3-et- ic stirrer provided instant mixing. The smoke dilu:ian factcr as cal- culated frem the ph;sical characterist:cs :f the maci::ne •.as '25:140 or 5.2 : 1. The smoke concentration inhaled by the hams:ers, in:crrect- eJ for c!:anc^_s due tc exhaled air of the exp-:sed ani-.a:s, •ras :=.ere- f:re approximately 19.:1 of that lea•:ing the r•+outh-end of the cigarette. In corparison, the average concentration cf smoke in the lung cf a human smoker :s a5cut 0.81 (averaae p,.;ff volu•r.e, 35 mI: human f:^c- tional residual capacity, 3.5 liters; human tidal volume, 0.7 liters). It took the smoke less than 1 second to traverse the 6 inches between the mouth-end of the cigarette and the ha-+sters' heads, ass;:rinc that the hamster inhaled smoke no less fresh than that reaching the lungs of the hu:-ar, smoker. Each har.,ster was exposed twice a day, 5 days/week, to 8 consec::ti,!e puff cycles fr---.i the icentucky Reference ciuarettes. T:le first thrc-.jqh eighth puffs from the c:garettes were used, resulting in a butt leneth . slightly longer than 30 mm. The period of exposure ranged :rcn 45 to 100 weeks. Cage-^eld cor•trol animals from each inbred line, of co*parazie ace and :n:tial :eiant. were maintained simultaneo-:sly in the saTe an:-a1 roc-. and were handled in the same way as all other ka^s:ers with re- qard •_- •~P.ekl;• •aely.n.:.^.g, permanently wearing fel:-alurin::m c::lars, e:c.,5u: these control hamsters did not come into contact the smoking ma:::ines. A second ccntrol group consisted of ccr;,araC:e har•sters exnrsed to s~ta:n smoking in tne mac.`.ines, :+hich were caera:ed under standard c:^d:t:cns, except that no cigarettes were :nser:ed into tne-. For each ^f a e 2 lines, BI0 15.16 and 810 B7.:C, 1C2 nam- sters were cxp.csed to smcke, 60 were exposed to sham-smoking cendi- t:o^s, and '.0 •.ere used as cage-held controls. Since it was i-possible to obtain all 222 hamsters required fcr eacn inbred line at :ne sa-e time, animals of the proper in::ial a-e and +eiq^t were ...::oduc^d :nto the experinent in lots of 6, s:acgered over a period of 37 weeks. As far as possible, 1 lot of 6 ant-a:s of eac.`f ef the ccntrols was started at the same time as 2 lots of smoke-exposed hamsters (12 animals). Anir•als •.ere exposed to sr.oke or to control conditions for ~s~-een 75 to 100 •.=e<s. T`ey •aere sacrsf:ced earlier when tncy appeared mcrib,:nd. as :jdzad by consistent weight less or the appearance of ede-a. Some `a^s:ers of all gr=ups were also sacrificed at 45 and 60 weeks.
