Unique and common tumor-specific transplantation antigens of chemically induced mouse sarcomas.
Methylcholanthrene-induced sarcomas of BALB/c mice express unique tumor specific transplantation antigens (TSTA), and weaker, common TSTA. Antigens of endogenous murine leukemia virus (MuLV) expressed by some of these tumors cannot completely account for these common TSTA. However, MuLV antigens on the immunizing tumor appear to increase the immunogenicity of the common TSTA.
