Abstract
A total of 33 methylcholanthrene‐induced sarcomas, growing in C57BL/6J or BALB/cByJ mice, were tested for their immunogenicity and for their relative mac‐rophage content. No relationship was demonstrated between these two characteristics. These results suggest that the direct correlation between macrophage content and immunogenicity demonstrated in rat tumor model systems may not hold for other systems.

We previously reported that mice have at least one major gene determining atherosclerosis susceptibility, Ath-1. Susceptible alleles of Ath-1 are found in strain C57BL/6J and are associated with relatively low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) when these mice are fed an atheroge

## Abstract Spontaneous metastasis formation was studied in thymectomized and/or sublethally irradiated syngeneic C57BL/6J mice of a highly antigenic MCA‐induced sarcoma. The tumour has a low incidence of mainly pulmonary metastases in normal mice. The tumour was transplanted between 1 day and 3 mo
