Abstract
IN a previous communication we reported discovery of a strong antigen associated with the thymic lymphocytes of AKR mice1. Old, Boyse and Stockert have reported absorption of specific iso-antisera by thymus of A and C58 mice, and cytolysis of some leukæmias of A and C57BL/6 mice by the same iso-antisera. These results indicated presence of a common antigen (the TL antigen) in the tissues mentioned2. This antigen, and the antigens common to the Friend, Moloney and Rauscher viruses (the FMR antigens), are not related to the AKR thymic antigen2,3.
