title: Modulation of tumor growth by crossreacting isoantibodies.
abstract: Tumor cells transfected with strong antigenic epitopes were able to stimulate humoral response against relevant wild-type tumors. Crossreacting immune sera have been obtained by immunizing C57BL/6 mice with OVA-transfected leukemia EL-4 (subclone E.G7) and OVA-transfected melanoma B16 (subclone MO.5) stimulated with interferon-gamma. Tumors were significantly inhibited when antisera were injected subcutaneously close to the site of solid wild-type tumors EL-4 and B16 grafted onto C57BL/6 mice.
