## Abstract Tumour‐specific antibodies directed against membrane antigens were demonstrated by immuno‐fluorescence in three of 45 patients with Wilms' tumour. Antibody capable of collaborating with K cells to kill Wilms' tumour was present in two additional patients. No patient exhibited both membr

Abstract
Sera from groups of children with Wilms' tumour, with non‐renal solid tumours, and from control children were studied by immunofluorescence and by absorption techniques. A high proportion of sera from both tumour groups contained non‐organ‐specific auto‐antibodies. Three of the 45 sera in the Wilms' group and one of the 27 sera in the “other” solid tumour group contained antibody reacting with normal kidney cells. Only one of 45 sera in the Wilms' tumour group contained tumour‐specific antibody.

Previous studies have shown that a high proportion (5/6) of human liver angiosarcomas (ASL) associated with exposure to vinyl chloride (VC) contains a GC=AT mutation at the Ki-ras codon 13. This mutation, however, has not been found in 5 ASL or 2 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) induced in rats by VC
