Transgenic expression of P1A induced thymic tumor: a role for onco-fetal antigens in tumorigenesis.

P1A is the first known tumor rejection antigen. It is expressed in embryonic stem cells and multiple tumors but is silent in adult tissues except for the testis and placenta. Therefore, P1A represents a prototype for onco-fetal antigens. To test the potential function of P1A in tumorigenesis, we use...
