Abstract

Mutagen treatment of mouse tumor cells produces at high frequency stable tumor cell variants that are rejected by syngeneic mice. As Thierry Boon discusses here, these ‘tum-’ variants express new surface antigens that can be recognized by cytolytic T lymphocytes. Tum- variants derived from spontaneous mouse tumors for which no immunogenicity had hitherto been demonstrated induce an immune protection against the parental tumor. Finally, he poses some interesting questions for future investigations.
