The investigation of antigenic diversion of hepatoma cells resulting from the expression of heteroorganic kidney antigens has been continued. Tumor-associated heteroorganic antigens 110—115 and 125—130 kDa were detected by immunoserum of narrow specificity in fractions of plasmatic membranes of cells of rat ascitic hepatoma Zajdela and cultured hepatoma HTC; the antigen 75—80 kDa was revealed only for hepatoma Zajdela cells. It has been shown by methods of radioisotope analysis and flow DNA-cytometry that heteroorganic antigens 110—130 kDa can be involved in process of cell proliferation.

Key words:  antigenic diversion, hepatoma, cancerogenesis, tumor-associated antigens
