## Abstract Upon immunization with phosphorylcholine (PC), conventional BALB/c mice produce antiβPC antibodies bearing predominantly the idiotype characteristic of the BALB/c PCβbinding myeloma protein TEPC 15 (T1 5). To investigate whether BALB/c mice are able to produce antibodies to the autologo
Long-term dormancy of murine B-cell lymphomas can be experimentally induced by immunizing the host with the idiotype expressed on the tumor. Interaction of the cells with anti-idiotype antibodies is sufficient to induce and maintain the dormant state. The growth of lymphoma cells interacting with an
