Loss of Thymus-Distinctive Serological Characteristics in Mice under Certain Conditions

Abstract
The serological properties of thymus cells of inbred mice bearing Ehrlich ascites tumors and treated with cortisol were investigated. Thymus-distinctive antigenicity and sensitivity to the cytotoxic effect of guinea pig serum and rabbit serum were significantly decreased, without change in reactivity to H-2 isoantibodies.
