Loss of Thymus-Distinctive Serological Characteristics in Mice under Certain Conditions

Abstract
The serological properties of thymus cells of inbred mice bearing Ehrlich ascites tumors and treated with cortisol were investigated. Thymusdistinctive antigenicity and sensitivity to the cytotoxic effect of guinea pig serum and rabbit serum were significantly decreased, without change in reactivity to H-2 isoantibodies.
