Popis: Certain in vivo and in vitro immunologic features of carcinogen-induced murine bladder cancer have been studied. The consistency of tumor induction, its natural history, and immunogenicity both in vivo and in vitro render this syngeneic murine bladder tumor a suitable model for immunologic studies. Pre-immunization of strain C3H/Hen mice with mid-gestational fetal cells did not protect the animals from tumor challenge. Sera of mice immunized with mid-gestational fetal cells were not cytotoxic to cultured tumor cells in a microcytotoxicity assay indicative of dissimilarity between the tumor associated antigen and the syngeneic mid-gestational fetal antigen.
