SUMMARY-Mycobacterium bovis strain BCG and com-ponents of BCG were previously shown to have prophy-lactic and therapeutic effects against the line-10, trans-plantable guinea pig hepatocarcinoma. The present study was undertaken to investigate the possibility that B~G and some neoplastic cells have common antigenic com-ponents. Rabbits were immunized with BCG sonicates or line-10 tumor cells. Other rabbits were immunized with line-1 cells, a tumor with antigenic characteristics different from those of line-10. The binding of antibodies in these sera to soluble radiolabeled antigens prepared from BCG and line-10 cells was studied by precipitation of radio-labeled antigen-antibody complexes with antirabbit im-munoglobulin. Antibodies in sera from rabbits immunized with BCG and line-10 cells bound both the labeled BCG
