## Abstract WKA/Mk rats injected with undiluted Gross virus at birth demonstrated loss of resistance to transplanted Gross lymphoma (WGT‐4), and also during later life did not contain detectable cytotoxic antibody to Gross virus‐specific cell‐surface antigen. These rats were considered to be immuno

Abstract
The binding of rat antibody to G cell surface antigen (GCSA) of syngeneic, AKR‐virus‐induced lymphoma cells was studied by performing certain titration procedures using mixed immune and normal sera labelled with different iodine radioisotopes, a technique which permits precise correction for non‐specific adsorption. Using plots of titration data which conformed to linear equations derived from the mass action law, we determined the following constants: (1) The average density of antibody molecules bound to GCSA sites was 6.9 × 10^6^ per cell, and 11,300 per square micron; (2) The average equilibrium constant of the GCSA‐antibody association reaction was 6.54 × 10^6^ ℓmole^−1^; (3) The mean binding affinity (ΔF°) of the GCSA‐antibody bond was —9.17 Kcal mole^−1^; (4) The rate constant for antibody dissociation at 0°C was 3.67 × 10^−5^ sec^−1^.

## Abstract The internal viral protein, p30^1^, has been identified by cytotoxicity tests using xenogeneic sera, on MuLV‐G‐induced rat lymphoma cells. In this system internal virion antigens, and in particular p30, are cytotoxic target antigens for syngeneic antibody and cell‐mediated cytotoxicity;

The relevance of the recently described membranebound form of the HBe protein for the antiviral immune response was examined. The data show that antibodies in anti-€€Be, but not in anti-HBc-positive human sera efficiently bind to the membrane expressed HBe. No evidence was obtained that the HBc can
