Summary
It is possible to detect the antigenic differences between the normal tissue (uterus) and the homologous in origin tumor tissue (Guéren carcinoma) by the method of tissue culture. Such difference consists in the following anticancer serum when adsorbed on the tumour tissue does not possess any cytotoxic effect with respect to the cancer cells, while after adsorption of this serum on the normal tissue of the homologous organ, it begins to inhibit the growth of experimental cultures.
