Abstract
The detergent Nonidet P40 was used to solubilize tumor-specific transplantation antigens (TSTA) from crude membranes obtained from dissociated cells of simian virus 40-induced sarcoma of BALB/c mice. A good recovery of specific tumor rejection activity was observed. One fraction, fraction V, was obtained following polyacrylamide-agarose filtration of the solubilized material, and this fraction contained most of the activity. An increased specific activity followed gel filtration. Preliminary data from lectin column chromatography of the active fraction V indicated a separation of TSTA activity from H-2 activity.
