## Abstract The tumorβspecific antigen present in mouse mammary tumor MM102 was further purified by 75% ethanol (EtOH Ag fraction) and its biological activity and chemical composition were analysed. Recovery of the antigenic activity was 25%, and the antigenic activity was found to be purified 22βf

β¦ Synopsis
Antigens present in mouse mammary tumor M M 2 reacting with tumor-specific antibodies were extracted with 0.2 % deoxycholate. After the removal of deoxycholate by dialysis, most antigens were precipitated by centrifugation at 105,000 A g for 60 min. Hyperimmunization of C3HIHe mice with these antigens induced heightened resistance against MM2. Antibodies appeared in the serum after a booster injection of deoxycholate extract of tumor cells was given. Antigens were solubilized from deoxycholate extract with distilled water. Purified soluble antigen inhibited the neutralization activity of the tumor-specific antibody to M M 2 tumor. From these observations, it is concluded that transplaniation antigens of isografted mammary tumors in C3H/ He mice are present in deoxycholate extracts of M M 2 tumor.

After injection of isografted mammary tumor M M 2 sensitized with rabbit antiserum, resistance was induced in C3HIHe mice after repeated challenges with MM2. The serum taken from these mice was found to be cytotoxic against M M 2 cells. The serum also inhibited the outgrowth of transplant of primary
## Abstract A new lymphatic cell antigen of some laboratory mice which also occurs as a tumorβspecific antigen of ascitic mammary tumors of C3H mice was discovered. This antigen is not present in normal cells of C3H/He mice and is therefore capable of eliciting tumorβspecific immune reactions in C3

An isografted tumor MM2, originating from a spontaneous mammary tumor in a CjlHIHelrnouse, killed 4-to 5-week-old mice within 30 days through intraperitoneal injection of 2 x lo4 cells per mouse. It was shown that resistance to the isografi was induced by injection of 1.5 x lo5 or 2.0 x lo5 tumor ce
