Abstract
Experimental evidence supporting the postulated analogy between myelin basic protein and a previously described common tumour specific antigen is summarized under antigenic cross-reactivity, subcellular localization, molecular size, basicity and proteolipid nature. A third protein antigen, present in all tissues, also shows strong similarities in all these respects.
