This study was designed to evaluate the phenotypic stability of the carcinogen-induced JB/MS and JB/RH melanomas. The JB/MS melanoma maintained its original slow-growing melanotic phenotype during in vivo passage over a 2-yr period. However, both melanin production and tumorigenicity decreased rapidly after propagation of JB/MS cells in vitro.

A comparative study of 12 human blue naevi and 15 carcinogen-induced hamster blue naevi showed no significant ultrastructural difference between these two groups of tumours. Both groups of tumours showed melanotic and hypomelanotic variants, and both were composed almost entirely of cells acceptable as melanocytes and melanophages. However, a few cells in some human and hamster tumours were partially or completely surrounded by a slender or quite thick external lamina.

The melanocytes of the hair follicles appear to be susceptible to the melanogenetic effect of DMBA but not to its tumor-inducing effect. The epidermal melanocytes are non-pigmented and are unresponsive to both melanogenetic and carcinogenic effects of DMBA.
