Abstract
RECENTLY, the presence of tumour specific antigens in viral tumour cells of animals, which can be detected by the virus-neutralization and complement fixation reactions with immune serum against the causal virus, has come to be recognized1. Even when the presence of virus particles in the tumour cannot be proved, it is possible to surmise the presence of the virus genome in some form or other.
