## Abstract Rabbits were immunized with extracts of primary or grafted intestinal adenocarcinomas induced by carcinogenic drugs in inbred rats. After absorption with normal tissue extracts, the antisera were able to recognize three tumor‐associated antigens. Two of them were glycoproteins, present

Abstract
Immunization of syngeneic rats with mid‐gestation rat embryo cells failed to elicit resistance to challenge with chemically‐induced rat hepatomas and sarcomas. In addition, lymphoid cells from multiparous female rats were uniformly ineffective in transferring tumour immunity to normal rats. In spite of this apparent lack of immunogenicity, serum and lymph‐node cells from animals immunized with tumour were cytotoxic for cultured embryo cells known to share embryonic antigen specificities with tumour cells. It is concluded that, although immunogenic, the tumour‐associated embryonic antigen does not function as a tumour rejection antigen.
