Abstract
PAST investigations in many laboratories concerning the antigenicity of experimental tumours have revealed that almost all the sarcomas induced by carcinogenic hydrocarbons contain specific antigens. For this reason a certain pretreatment of isologous recipients with these tumours can produce resistance against cell inocula of the tumour originally taken for immunization. Using this test system specific antigens were demonstrated in sarcomas which were induced by administration of methylcholanthrene1–7, benzpyrene5,8,9, dibenzpyrene6, dibenzanthracene10, and dimethylbenzanthracene11.
