title: [Effects of exogenous poly(A)+ mRNA on antigenic properties and growth of Krebs-2 tumor cells].
abstract: The treatment of Krebs-2 ascitic tumor cells (TC) with total RNA from the liver of Wistar rats (2 mg/ml) altered their antigenicity. As a result, the growth of treated TC in contrast with untreated TC was inhibited when transplanted i. m. to mice preimmunized with rat liver homogenate. Investigations of poly(A+)mRNA, rRNA and tRNA isolated from the same tissue established that the alteration of antigenicity is due to mRNA (8-24 micrograms/ml). In the cytotoxicity assay with antisera against rat Wistar antigens, the expression of rat antigens in TC treated mRNA was observed in the next cell generations.
