Abstract
Inocula of cultured sheep cells that had been transformed with FeSV were injected into the legs of sheep so that the changes in the cellular and humoral composition of the efferent lymph from the regional node could be studied throughout the immune responses. The times at which immunoblasts and specific antibodies appeared in the lymph were similar to those recorded during responses to conventional antigens. The antiboides were mainly 7S, G1 immunoglobulins directed against virion antigens on the membranes of the transformed cells.
