title: Studies on immunity to mouse sarcomas using the tumor-cell neutralization test.
abstract: Statistical analysis of the results of tumor-cell neutralization (Winn) tests has been presented in a refined manner using three variables: tumor incidence, time to palpable tumor, and growth rate. The concept of relative risk and the Z statistic were used to describe the latter two variables. This analysis is then applied to a particular experiment. Lymphocytes sensitized in vitro were compared with specifically immune lymphocytes and were found to facilitate the growth rate. Further applications of this analysis are discussed.
