Popis: | To obtain immune ascites fluids, rats were immunized three times with living influenza virus and vaccinated with an ascites strain of ovarian tumor (OYa). Considerable stimulation of formation of antiviral antibodies was observed compared with animals not vaccinated with the tumor strain. Immunofluorescence tests revealed an increase in titer of antibodies against both structural antigens of the virus and antigens induced by the virus in the membranes of the infected tumor cells. The phenomenon observed is evidently based on the local accumulation of virus antigens on a considerable scale in cells of the strain OYa. |
