Summary
The author studied the antigenic and the biological properties of Ehrlich's ascitic adenocarcinoma grown on the chorionallantois of chick embryo. In the process of cultivation there was noted a change of the initial antigenic activity in complement fixation reaction and decrease of its ability to grow on mice. It is of interest to note that the changes of the antigenic properties of the cultivared tumor coincided with the change of its biological properties.
