title: Inducing tumor immunity by specific tumor antigens.
abstract: A handy experimental model for testing anti-tumor agents and for studying tumor immunity is the use of Walker 256 carcinosarcoma in Long-Evans hooded rats. This neoplasm is so easily transplantable and growth is so rapid that a large series of animals can be studied in a relatively short period of time.
