Acceptance of Tumor Homografts by Mice Injected with Antiserum. II. Effect of Time of Injection.

Abstract

Passively transferred antiserum to mouse tissues, produced in rabbits or mice, will induce the survival of a tumor homograft in mice. The best effect, in terms of homograft survival, is obtained if the antiserums are given to the prospective host shortly before, or shortly after, tumor grafting. The possible mode of action of the antiserum in ensuring homograft survival is considered.
