Abstract
Evidence is presented, which supports the findings reported in part I, that glycoprotein antigens from Marek’s tumors have common antigenicity with those from human cancer. These glacoprotein antigens from Marek’s tumors behaved in a similar manner to glycoprotein antigens obtained from Marek’s herpesvirus grown in tissue culture in their cross-reactivity with the glycoprotein antigens of human cancer. This indicates that the basis for this common antigenicity is the presence of certain antigenic parts of the Marek’s herpesvirus genome in a variety ofhuman neoplasia. The DNA Marek’s herpesvirus is thus implicated in human cancer.
