title: Induction of cell-mediated cytotoxicity by lipoprotein containing histocompatibility antigens.
abstract: Lipoprotein was isolated from tumour cells by sonication and ultracentrifugal flotation on KBr gradients. It contained H-2 antigen detectable by antibody binding and induced a primary or secondary cell-mediated cytotoxic response in vitro which was H-2 specific. In a syngeneic model only a secondary cell-mediated response was stimulated and no competitive inhibition of the effector step of cell-mediated lysis could be demonstrated. The implications of these findings are discussed.
