Tumor immunogenicity has been increased in a mouse model system by chemical modification of the tumor cells. Using peripheral blood lymphocytes as responder cells, freshly explanted human ovarian cell carcinoma cells function well as both an alloimmunogen and target cells in cell-mediated cytotoxicity assays.
