title: Murine embryonal carcinoma cells express class I MHC-like antigens.
abstract: Previous work has concluded that murine embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells, the oncogenic stem cells of teratocarcinomas, do not express class-I, H-2K or D/L gene encoded products. Experiments using cell-mediated lysis, serological and molecular biological approaches show that EC cells do express some major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or class I-like molecules.
