Loss of anti-tumour immunogenicity of a somatic cell hybrid line with increasing subculture.

PMCID: PMC2024787  PMID: 169867

Abstract

Good immunoprotection was afforded by A9/SEWA somatic hybrid cells in the C3H mouse/C3H Py tumour system, confirming results previously obtained in the A.SW mouse/SEWA tumour system. However, in this study the immunogenicity decreased with increasing serial subculture of the hybrid line and concomitant chromosome loss.
