Immunity and Tolerance in Amphibia

  • Chapter
Biology of Amphibian Tumors

Part of the book series: Recent Results in Cancer Research ((RECENTCANCER,volume 1969))

Abstract

This section of the symposium will treat immunity and tolerance in Amphibia presenting adult information in all three orders and in larvae where available. The data will be presented as a review of immunity to transplantation antigens, as information pertaining to antibody and immunoglobulin synthesis, and as lymphomyeloid organ control of immunity. This paper is not intended to be an exhaustive account of the subject which would list every known reference, but where feasible pertinent comprehensive reviews are presented. Lastly the information will be considered in light of cancerogenesis.

This work was supported mainly by research grants E-492 from the American Cancer Society and GB 7607 from the National Science Foundation.
