ABROGATION OF ALLOGENEIC INHIBITION BY CORTISONE
Abstract:
Tumor cells from homozygous mice grow better upon transplanation to syngeneic mice than to F(1) hybrids between the tumor strain and a foreign strain. The inhibition of cell growth in the hybrids (called allogeneic inhibition), which is detected by tumor transplantation into mice, cotuld be abrogated by treatment of the recipient mice with cortisone acetate. Cortisone also abolished allogeneic inhibition in vitro; abolition was detected by treating tumor cultures with cell extracts containing foreign isoantigens of the H-2 type.

Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...
