Abstract
During the ensuing discussion M. MICKSCHE, C. CERNI, P. FISCHER, and M. VETTERLEIN reported on “tumor-associated antigens on somatic cell hybrids derived from human lung cancer cells.” In 1971 a squamous cell carcinoma of the lung was established as a continuously growing cell line in culture (E-14 line). Somatic cell hybrids were produced between the E-14 line and a hamster fibroblast cell line. A karyotype analysis revealed the presence of human chromosomes in the cell hybrids designated M10 and M29. Expression of tumor-associated antigens on hybrid cells and E-14 cells was demonstrated by means of an antiserum against E-14 cells produced in rabbits and tested by indirect immunofluorescence.
