RESUMO
p53-plus-ras-transformed rat cell lines express a tumor-specific transplantation antigen that is common to a number (85%) of independently derived p53-plus-ras-transformed cell lines. This has been shown by immunizing rats with irradiated p53-plus-ras-transformed cells and demonstrating protection of these animals by subsequent live-cell tumor challenge. Several c-myc-plus-ras-transformed cell lines (54% of the lines tested) and one adenovirus E1a-plus-ras-transformed cell line (9% of those tested) were shown to share a common tumor-specific transplantation antigen by their ability to immunize a rat against a p53-plus-ras cell line challenge. Several experimental approaches have been used to fractionate and identify the antigen common to these cell lines. The experimental results reported here make it clear that the p53 protein common to most of these transformed cell lines is not likely to be the tumor-specific transplantation antigen.
