Research Abstract |
We concluded the following results. 1)Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) cells lack H-2 surface antigens. 2)However, non-MHC antigens may remain on the cell surface and some host defense mechanisms will be induced agaist EAT. 3)Some inbred strains of mice might have EAT-resistant genes, linkaged near H-2 gene locus. Number of EAT-resistant genes seem to be one or two. 4)Adoptive immune transfer of the EAT-dormant disposition of ddY-drm mice is possible by the EAT-activated spleen cells inoculation to ddY-prg mice. Cellular immunno-resistance, therefore, is involved in the mechanism. 5)Adoptive immunotherapy agaist EAT is only possible between ddY-drm and ddY-prg mice which may share a common genetic background other than H-2 or Ia loci through the history of two-way selection starting from the same basal stock colony . 6)Gene analysis of N2 mice will provide interesting results . In future, identification of EAT-resistant (EAT-dormant) gene, production of the Tg ddY-prg mice, and the gene transfer therapy against EAT will be interesting research objects .
