Abstract
RECENT emphasis has been placed on the lipid-protein composition of transplantation antigens derived from normal and neoplastic cells1 and there is serological evidence for the occurrence of some of these antigens at cell surfaces2,3. The presence of transplantation antigens outside the nucleus of a cell implies the operation of a mechanism whereby the genetic individuality of nuclear components is expressed in cytoplasmic materials which are characteristic of the individual.
