Heat-labile serum factor required for immunofluorescence of polyoma tumor antigens

K K Takemoto et al. Science. .

Abstract

The immunofluorescent demonstration of polyoma tumor antigens in tumor cells requires a heatlabile serum component. With unheated hamster tumor serum, specific fluorescence was observed in polyoma-transformed hamster, mouse, and rat tumor cells. Heated serum usually gave little or no reactivity; the activity of such heated serum could be restored simply by the addition of fresh normal unheated hamster serum.
