DBA/2 mastocytoma (P815) cells are able to grow when inoculated into the anterior chamber of eyes of histoincompatible mice. Tumor growth is unrestrained in recipient mice differing from the DBA/2 strain at multiple minor H loci, but sharing the H-2 a haplotype; progressive tumor growth in these ani
