Inhibition of Tumour Growth in Irradiated Mice by Sensitized Homologous Spleen Cells

Abstract

IT is known that tumours possess antigens which differ from those in normal tissue. Experimental evidence for this has been obtained by workers using chemically-induced tumours and others with a virus-induced tumour and spontaneous tumours1–3. It has also been shown, however, that the spontaneous. A-strain carcinoma is not antigenic after repeated transplantation in the strain of origin4.
