Biozzi mice selected for high (Hi) or low (Lo) responsiveness to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) have been followed for their entire life-span to examine their pathology at death. Spontaneous lymphomas were found to exhibit higher incidence and faster development in Lo/PHA than in Hi/PHA females, whereas a similar difference between the two lines did not attain the level of statistical significance in male mice. The incidence of solid tumors was higher in Lo/PHA than in Hi/PHA males but the same in females of the two lines, yet the probability of dying from solid tumors was slightly increased in Lo/PHA mice of both sexes. All these results indicate that T-cell-mediated immunity influences mainly the spontaneous incidence of lymphomas and, to a lesser degree, the appearance of other solid tumors.
