title: [Possible relation between viruses and oromaxillofacial tumors. III. Demonstration of the SV40 antigen and anti-SV40 antibodies in patients with tumors of the parotid gland].
abstract: SV40 antigen was detected in 7 of 13 malignant tumors developed in the head and neck region. Specific complement fixing antibodies were found in all the patients with the SV40 antigen present in the parotid gland tumoral cells. Incidence of the anti-SV40 complement fixing antibodies in parotid gland tumor bearing patients was of 69.6%.
