Pertaining to inoculation.
A tumor which originated in a Japanese waltzing mouse was transplanted for many generations in mice of the same variety, but invariably failed to grow when inoculated into common mice. […] Susceptibility to an inocular tumor is neither, therefore, inherited in accordance with Mendel's law, nor are the results obtained from cross-breeding explained by any other known principle of inheritance.1910, Experiment Station Record - Volume 22, page 377:
The infected group all showed thickening of the terminal ileum and enlargement of the mesenteric lymph nodes at post-mortem examination and all had serum antibody to the inocular strain at levels of 1:320 - 1:640 compared with 1:20 and 1:40 pre-inoculation.1982, Ramiro Ramírez Necoechea, IPVS 82: Proceedings, page 58:
