## Abstract Cells of the transplantable ascites tumour sarcoma 37 (S37) have been infected __in vitro__ with Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Infected cells, a virusβcontaining fraction of such cells, and Xβirradiated S37 cells have been found to immunize mice against subsequent tumour challenge. Ant

β¦ Synopsis
Splenic lymphocytes from TB-mice had a reduced capacity to respond to both B and T-cell mitogens, but TB-mice responded to infection with vaccinia virus by developing a virus-specific cytotoxic T-cell response equal to that measured with splenic effectors prepared from virus-infected C-mice. NK-cell activity,
as measured by the in vitro lysis of YAC-1 targets by splenic effectors, was significantly depressed in TB-mice but, after infection of the animals with vaccinia virus, was restored to levels equal to that measured with splenic effectors prepared from C-mice. Doses of vaccinia virus, strain WR which elicited vaccinia-virus-specific cytotoxic T cells or stimulated NK-ceU activity, failed to elicit or stimulate cytotoxic effectors specific for S91-melanoma tumor cells.

Administration of a low dose of L-PAM (0.75 mg/kg) to mice bearing a large SC MOPC-315 tumor and extensive metastases led to the development of augmented antitumor immune potential in their hitherto immunosuppressed spleen cells.

It was shown previously that B6.C-H-Zbm" (bm14) mice, carrying a mutation in the H-2Db locus, are unable to generate cytotoxic T cells (CTL) against Moloney murine sarcoma virus (M-MSV). We now report an analysis of tumor induction and regression kinetics and of immunity to the virus, following the
