title: Antigenic differences between a primary hamster lymphosarcoma and its liver metastases.
abstract: An antiserum was raised in rabbits against a primary metastasizing lymphosarcoma (ML) of the hamster. This was made tumor-specific by absorption with normal hamster tissue extracts. Immunoglobulin-G was prepared and tested for its cytotoxicity towards cells derived from the primary tumor and its liver metastases. The ML-specific IgG was found to be 2--5 times more cytotoxic for cells derived from the primary tumor compared to cells obtained from liver metastases.
