Abstract
Serological absorption analyses and immunochemical studies of the H-2 antigenic specificities on the AKR (H-2k) spontaneous leukaemia K36 have been performed. The results confirm the absence of the H-2Kk gene product from the cell surface and from detergent solubilised tumour cells. A genetic mechanism is considered for this phenotypic alteration.
