| Abstract: | The membrane antigens of Zajdela ascitic hepatoma cells were investigated. Living cells were studied by immunofluorescence method, and solublized membrane preparations by the precipitation reacting in agar gel. Testing of the tumor cells with organospecific anti-kidney serum caused a specific fluorescence of tumor cells surface. This can be due to incorporation into the antigenic structure of the Zajdela hepatoma cell membranes of at least one organospecific antigen. Treatment of the tumor cells with organospecific anti-liver serum led to specific fluorescence of tumor cells surface. In solubilizates of the tumor cells one of the three organospecific antigens peculiar for the normal liver cells, was detected. |
