We investigated the effect of combined treatment with anti-LFA-I and anti-ICAM-I monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) in the immune reaction to Moloney-murine-sarcoma-virus(M-MSV)-induced tumors, which spontaneously regress due to the generation of a strong virus-specific cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte(CTL) respons

Abstract
Female R rats mated with an R male and inoculated in utero, after fetectomy, with murine sarcoma virus (Moloney), developed tumors. These tumors originated in the uterus and were of fetal origin. Intravenous or intraperitoneal injection of the virus induced similar tumors. Infectious virus could not be isolated from the tumor cells kept as transplantable lines or cultured in vitro. However, the presence of the MSV genome could be demonstrated by a direct rescue test. In non‐pregnant rats treated in the same way no neoplasms were recorded. The results are discussed in the light of current theories on the special immunological fetal‐maternal relationship.

## Abstract Anti‐tumour cell‐mediated immune reactions were studied by the chromium release test (CRT) in mice bearing autochtonous Murine Sarcoma Virus (MSV)‐induced sarcomas or syngeneic transplants of lymphomas with various antigenic specificities. Cytotoxic lymphoid cells were detected during t
