Embryonic Antigen Expression on 2-Acetylaminofluorene Induced and Spontaneously Arising Rat Tumours

R W Baldwin, B M Vose
PMCID: PMC2009207  PMID: 4615731

Abstract

2-Acetylaminofluorene induced mammary and ear duct carcinomata and spontaneously arising mammary carcinomata and sarcomata were shown to express embryonic antigens at the cell surface by their reaction with serum from multiparous female rats. These observations with essentially non-immunogenic tumours are comparable with early findings showing that embryonic antigens are also expressed on aminoazo dye induced rat hepatomata, and sarcomata induced with 3-methylcholanthrene. Re-expression of embryonal components, therefore, may be a concomitant of neoplastic transformation.
