✦ Synopsis

The present studies utilize an inbred mouse model to evaluate the adoptive transfer of spleen cells to augment immunity against Cryptococcus neoformans. Protection against cryptococcosis was transferred using spleen cells obtained from mice surviving cryptococcosis. These spleen cell donors had no detectable anticryptococcal antibody. Also, treatment with antimouse-thymocyte globulin ablated dermal hypersensitivity reactions of immunized mice, and shortened survival in both immunized and unimmunized mice. These in vivo studies further support a major role for cell-mediated immunity in host defense against experimental cryptococcosis.

Escape from the immune surveillance may play an important role in tumor outgrowth and metastasis. Alteration of the Fas receptor (Fas)/ligand (FasL) system including soluble forms is regarded as one of the mechanisms preventing the immune system from rejecting the tumor cells. However, less attentio

It was evaluated in vitro whether it is possible to induce immunogenicity by haptenization of a nonlymphoid rat tumor, BSp6AS, which is known to be antigenic, but nonimmunogenic, in the syngeneic host. The effectivity of "induced immunogenicity' was tested in vivo. BSp6AS, an NK-and macrophage-resi
