abstract：:Mutagen treatment of mouse P815 tumor cells produces tum- variants that are rejected by syngeneic mice because these variants express new surface antigens. These "tum- antigens" are recognized by cytolytic T lymphocytes but induce no detectable antibody response. Transfection of P815 cell line P1.HTR with DNA of tum- ...
