Abstract
Antigenic components shared between Mycobacterium bovis (BCG) and certain experimental and human tumors have been demonstrated by a variety of methods (Borsos and Rapp, 1973; Minden et al., 1974; Bucana and Hanna, 1974; Minden et al., 1976a; McCoy et al., 1978; Lewis et al., 1976; Holan et al., 1979). There are also data suggesting that other microorganisms have determinants in common with some tumors (Minden et al., 1976b; Minden, 1976; James et al., 1976; Kwapinski et al., 1978). With respect to human tumors, there is evidence that antigens from human malignant melanoma (Bucana and Hanna, 1974; Minden et al., 1976a) and acute myeloid leukemia (Minden et al., 1976b) are shared with or are similar to antigens in BCG.
