Abstract

It has previously been shown that the tumourspecific antigen of the chemically‐induced rat hepatoma D23 has determinants recognised by alloantisera raised against normal syngeneic liver and spleen. However, no reactions were observed with alloantisera raised against syngeneic erythrocytes suggesting that the alloantigenic determinant responsible for this cross‐reactivity is not a major serologically‐defined histocompatibility antigen. This concept has been further examined using a defined turkey anti‐rat β~2~ microglobulin antiserum. This antiserum failed to block the binding of syngeneic antihepatoma D23 sera to hepatoma D23 target cells as assessed using membrane immunofluorescence and complement‐dependant ^51^Cr release tests. Furthermore, immune precipitates formed from soluble tumour extracts containing hepatoma D23 specific antigen with turkey anti‐rat β~2~ microglobulin failed to generate a tumour‐specific antibody response in syngeneic rats although a cross‐reactive antiserum was produced following immunization of allogeneic rats with the immune precipitate.
