✦ Synopsis
Sera from mice which have either spontaneously developed a mamniury tumor, or which have been immunized against such a tumor, have been shown capable of abrogating the ability of lymph-node cells from these mice to specifically inhibit colony formation by mammary tumor cells in vitro. Sera jrom mice sensitized to another, independently arising, syngeneic mammary tumor or to a syngeneic Moloney sarcoma virus-induced tumor are less active in this respect, indicating that this reaction is specific. I t is suggested that these observations are related to the in vivo phenomenon called imniunological enhancement .
