β¦ Synopsis
The cytoxicity in vitro fo peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with carcinoma of the urinary bladder (TCC-bladder) against allogeneic target cells from established cell lines was studied by the 51Cr-release assay. Lymphocytes from both untreated and treated TCC-bladder patients have a significantly elevated mean cytotoxicity to TCC-bladder target cells. Tumour cell destruction by lymphocytes from TCC-bladder patients shows a clear disease related specificity. In TCC-bladder patients a superimposed cytotoxicity exists, probably reflecting reactions against one or several tumour - associated antigens. In treated patients this cytotoxicity may be masked by higher incidence of cross reaction.

A rare case of coexisting sarcoma and carcinoma of the urinary bladder is reported and the literature is reviewed. Because of the differences in the histogenesis and prognosis, such cases should be differentiated from cases of carcinosarcoma of the urinary bladder.
Spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with cells derived from transitional cell carcinomas (TCC) of the human urinary bladder were fused with mouse myeloma Sp 2/0 Ag14 cells. Monoclonal antibodies from six established hybridomas were investigated for specificity in a cell ELISA and in indirect imm
