The priming of an appropriate anti-tumor T cell response rarely results in the rejection of established tumors. The characteristics of tumors that allow them to evade a T cell-mediated rejection are unknown for many tumors. We report on evidence that the expression of the immunosuppressive enzyme, i

Abstract
Cytotoxic lymphoblasts (LBC) were produced by the co‐cultivation of guinea‐pig lymphoid cells from the thymus, lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow and blood with syngeneic methylcholanthrene‐induced sarcoma (MC‐D) cells. The cytotoxic reaction was inhibited by pretreatment of the lymphoid cell populations with a rabbit antiserum specific for guinea‐pig thymus‐derived (T) lymphocytes. Supernatants of LBC inhibited the migration of peritoneal exudate cells, but did not contain lymphotoxin or a skin reactive factor. It is concluded that the cytotoxic cells are of T‐cell origin.
