## 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;

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Conditions are described for optimal stimulation in vitro of lymphocytes from rats primed in vivo with syngeneic MuLV‐G leukaemia cells. Cultures generate effector cells which show high cytotoxic activity against leukaemic cells. Specific stimulation can be obtained with leukaemic cells and with disrupted MuLV. Leukaemic cells, normal spleen cells and the viron internal protein p30 competitively inhibit effector cells, but purified virus exerts nonspecific inhibition. These findings are interpreted as supporting the hypothesis that virion antigens constitute a major target of anti‐tumour cytotoxic immunity.
