โฆ Synopsis
Glycolipid extracts were prepared from various Syrian golden hamster cell lines, either SV40-transformed or spontaneously transformed. To detect possible SV40-TSTA activity of the glycolipid preparations. normal hamsten were inoculated with different glycolipid extracts and were subsequently challenged with an SV40 tumor-cell line. Significant immunoprotection against SV40 tumor challenge was induced with glycolipids obtained from SV40-transformed cell lines. This was expressed as complete tumor rejection or as a decrease in tumor growth rate, when compared to controls. No protective effects were induced with glycolipid extracts from spontaneously transformed cells. Results suggest that tumor-specifK glycolipids synthesized in cells transformed by SV40 virus could act as tumor transplantation antigens responsible for specific tumor rejection in syngeneic hosts.
