Abstract
A theoretical model is presented based on the idea that the immune sys tem of a patient with a tumour can cross-react against transplanted no rmal foreign cells as well as against the patient's own neoplastic cel ls, thereby rejecting both. This hypothesis is shown in a diagram, the potential use of which is discussed.
