Sensitivity of five adenovirus (Ad) -transformed cell lines to killing by syngeneic natural killer (NK) and secondary cytolytic T cells has been studied. The transformed cell lines have different oncogenic potentialsin vivo: A2T8cells are nontumorigenic even in immunosuppressed newborn animals; T2C4cells induce tumors in immunosuppressed but not in untreated newborn rats; 50A cells are tumorigenic in newborn rats; RFC1and RT2cells are highly oncogenic in both newborn and in weanling rats and induce tumors after intraperitoneal injection to mature rats. The results show an inverse relation between the sensitivity of these cells to NK cytotoxicityin vitroand their tumorigenic potentialin vivo. Competition experiments and adsorptions of effector cells to monolayers of target cells indicate that antigenic specificities on all five tested adenovirus-transformed cells are recognized by the same subset of NK cells. In parallel experiments no significant differences were detected in sensitivity of these transformed cell lines to killing with syngeneic secondary cytolytic T cells. The T-cell killing was highly specific for Ad2- or Ad12-transformed cells, respectively.In vitroeducation of secondary cytolytic T cells in this system is not associated with generation of NK activity. These results suggest that sensitivity of different Ad-transformed cells to killing by natural cell-mediated cytotoxicity, rather than their immunogenicity, correlates with their oncogenic potential.
