Abstract

Teratomas are tumors that occur in the ovary or testis of mammals and are composed of a mixture of differentiated cells from various organs. Experimental investigations on teratomas have shown that a "biological therapy" of a tumor is feasible if these cells participate in normal differentiation and are able to reprogram changes in gene expression.
