Abstract
NORMAL tissue antigens have frequently been shown to be absent from experimentally induced tumours. Thus immunohistological studies have shown the loss of kidney antigens in, stilboestrol and X-ray induced kidney tumours1,2, of skin antigens in 3-methylcholanthrene-induced mouse squamous cell carcinomata3 and certain muscle antigens in 3-methylcholanthrene-induced rat rhabdomyosarcomata4. By far the most extensively studied class of tumours are the chemically induced hepatomata where deletion of liver antigens has been shown in tumours induced with 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene5–7, diethylnitrosamine8 and 2-acetamidofluorene9 in the rat and o-aminoazotoluene in the mouse10. Previous studies5 denned the number and subcellular distribution of normal rat liver antigens deleted from primary hepatomata induced with 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene. These studies have been extended to compare the pattern of antigen deletions in rat hepatomata induced with 2-acetamidofluorene and diethylnitrosamine using both primary and transplanted tumours.
