Current questions on the tumour-associated antigens of chemically-induced tumours. I. In search of their characterization.
The main methods for detecting the tumour associated antigens of chemically-induced tumours, and the significance of the results given by these methods are briefly reviewed. The possibility of finding several sorts of tumour antigens is discussed more specifically. The origin of the antigenically unique (non-crossing) antigens found in the chemically-induced tumours, as compared to the frequently cross-reacting antigens found in the virus-induced tumours, gives rise to speculation. The biological significance of these antigens is discussed.
