| Research Abstract |
1. Using ddY mice and Ehrlich ascites tumor cells (E cell), an animal model for the study of tumor-dormancy has been established by selective breeding. In the dormant mice (drm-mice), Ehrlich ascites tumor cells are dormant for about 100 ds in the dermal tissue but progressive in the peritoneal cavity.
2. Dormant effect of drm-mice can be transferred by E cell-activated spleen cells to the progressive I : Ine of mice (prg-mice).
3. From the lymphocyte surface antigens test, H-2 haplotype of drm-mice (F-15) and prg-mice (F-10) were determined as s and q respectively. Mixed lymphocytes are activated reciprocally between the two sublines, and the skin grafts are also rejected.
4. In another inbred strains of mice, E cell in the dermal tissue was progressive in mice of H-2 haplotype k, q and v, ; dormant in d and r, ; regressive or dormant in p and s, ; regressive in b. In their peritoneal cavity, however, E cell was all progressive.
5. From the above results, the present animal model involves cellular immune response in the tumor-dormancy mechanism and makes E cell dormant for long periods -in the dermal tissue. In the mechanism, histo-compatibility genes other than H-2 loci-seems to be important for the dermal-lymphocytes recognition system against E cell.
