from direct contact between cell and antibody, and the Page 1 1 352 immune responses by
functionally inactivating the cells or, alternatively, some portion of the cells which are involvcd
in antibody production. This inactivation results from direct contact between cell and antibody,
and the degree of inactivation is directly proportional to tho amount of immunosuppressive
antibody contained in the ALP being tested. Knowledge of the processes involved in antibody
production is incomplete at the present time. Thus it would not be possible to indicate …
Abstract
MOST experimentally induced animal neoplasms contain tumour specific transplantation antigens (TSTA), against which immunological reactions can be detected both in vivo and in vitro1–5.
