Suppressive effect of immunization with mouse fetal antigens on growth of cells infected with Rauscher leukemia virus and plasma-cell tumors. 1971

M G Hanna, and R W Tennant, and J H Coggin

The recovery of spleen cells infected with Rauscher leukemia virus (RLV) and grown in Millipore diffusion chambers, the development of RLV-induced splenomegaly, and the cumulative mortality from a transplanted ascites plasma-cell tumor were all suppressed in young adult BALB/c male mice previously primed at 3-weekly intervals with x-irradiated, syngeneic embryo cells. RLV-induced splenomegaly was also suppressed by adoptive transfer of postpartal spleen cells, as well as spleen cells for animals primed with syngeneic embryo cells. Similar suppressions were not observed in mice primed with neonatal or normal syngeneic cells. Further, injection of fetal cells was not effective in suppressing the immune function of normal spleen cells, as measured by ability to elaborate a primary immunoglobulin M response to heterologous erythrocyte antigen. The results of this study add to the broad spectrum of tumors of experimental animals and man known to contain neoantigens common to fetal cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D011925 Rauscher Virus A strain of MURINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS associated with mouse tumors similar to those caused by the FRIEND MURINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS. It is a replication-competent murine leukemia virus.
