To find and exploit the differences is the chief goal of Sloan-Kettering Institute. The problem is being attacked at all levels-from simple testing of promising drugs to long-range exploration of the internal workings of cells...
Cell City. Long-range figuring-out is the duty of such men as Dr. George B. Brown, head of the Protein Chemistry Division. Dr. Brown and his assistants are studying the chemistry of both normal and cancer cells, looking for differences that they may exploit...

One is to try the encephalitis virus on monkeys. The laboratory strain has lived so long in mouse brains that it may have lost its ability to attack primates.
