Hybrids produced by fusing cells of the highly malignant TA3-Ha mouse ascites carcinoma with diploid A.CA fibroblasts generally gave low-take incidences in genetically compatible newborn X-irradiated (A X A.CA)F1mice. This confirmed previous work in which diploid fibroblasts suppressed the malignant phenotype of tumor cells with which they were fused. A number of clonal hybrid populations were tested and, in all except one, highly malignant behavior reappeared after progressive propagation of the cells in vitro. The reappearance of the malignant phenotype was frequently paralleled by detectable chromosome losses in vitroi but even with cell populations in which no significant decrease in total chromosome number was detected in vitro, tumors were produced by the selective overgrowth of cells from which chromosomes had been eliminated. To select isoantigenic loss variants from the hybrid cell populations, the cells were injected into the parental strain mice. The resultsshowed marked asymmetry. H-2a-compatible variants were isolated readily, but no specifically H-2f-compatible lines were obtained. It was hypothesized that the TA3-derived ninth chromosome carrying theH-2alocus is involved in control of some cellular process required for malignant behavior. The A.CA-derived chromosome carrying theH-2flocus is obviously not required for expression of the malignant phenotype.
