## Abstract An antiserum was developed in rabbits by injections of a virus concentrate from Moloney murine sarcomas. Passive transfer of this antiserum attenuated the growth of both primary and transplanted Moloney murine sarcomas. It also facilitated tumor regression and increased survival times o

Abstract
Female BALB/c mice injected intramuscularly with Moloney sarcoma virus (MSV) developed tumors which were smaller and were rejected more quickly than those induced in age‐matched males. Tumor rejection was also more frequent in splenectomized hosts than in sham‐operated controls. The eject of splenectomy was more pronounced in females than in males.
In sub‐lethally irradiated mice challenged with MSV, sex‐related and spleen‐dependent differences in response to adoptively transferred spleen cells were observed. In females, both splenectomized and sham‐operated recipients of immune cells rejected their primary sarcomas, while the tumors grew rapidly in all recipients of normal cells. In a concurrent experiment with males, splenectomy had a greater suppressive effect on tumor growth than did the type of spleen cells tranferred (immune vs. normal).
