RESUMO

Previous studies have indicated that the regression versus progression of v-src-DNA-induced sarcomas is dependent on chicken line. As a first step in analyzing the role of tumor immunity as a determinant of this line dependence, experiments were undertaken to ascertain whether an antisarcoma immune response is generated in the course of sarcoma growth in TK chickens, a regressor line. To assay for this response, test TK chickens in which v-src-induced wing web sarcomas had regressed, as well as control TK chickens that had not been exposed to v-src, were challenged in protocols known to yield v-src-dependent sarcoma formation and monitored for challenge sarcoma growth. Compared with the control chickens, the test chickens showed a significant resistance to the sarcomagenic challenge. These results raise the possibility that the antisarcoma response that is inducible in regressor lines, as demonstrated here in terms of a protective effect against a subsequent sarcomagenic challenge, may also underlie the regression of v-src-induced primary sarcomas.
