Abstract

During each transplantation passage of a line of mouse myeloma tumor MOPC-315 through syngeneic (BALB/c) hosts, the tumor cells lose reactivity with cytotoxic thymus-derived lymphocytes directed against products of the BALB/c major histocompatibility complex (H-2(d)) and regain reactivity on transfer to fresh hosts. In contrast to this cyclical change, the tumor cells remain uniformly reactive with anti-H-2(d) alloantisera throughout the transplantation cycle.
