ABSENCE OF REACTION OF A XENOGENIC ANTI-H-2 SERUM WITH MOUSE EMBRYONAL CARCINOMA CELLS

Abstract
A rabbit antiserum raised against papain-solubilized H-2 antigens was used to investigate the eventual expression of H-2 antigens and related molecules on embryonal carcinoma cells and on other types of mouse cells. No material reacting with this serum could be detected on cells carrying the F9 antigen. Apparently no H-2 antigen or cross-reacting material is expressed on these cell types.
