Summary

Soluble tumor extracts were isolated from a UV light-induced mouse sarcoma by 3 M KCl extraction followed by 2 M (NH4)2SO4 precipitation. The precipitates dissolved in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) produced transplantation resistance against syngeneic cell inocula of the tumor at a restricted dose range. While 1.0–1.2 mg of protein per mouse were effective, double this dose was not. An extract prepared from ascitic fluid of tumor-bearing mice showed effects similar to one prepared from tumor cells.
