AB Both  experimental  and  naturally  occurring  tumors  are  capable  of  stimulating  a  specific  antitumor  immune  response.  This  observation  suggests  that  there  are  foreign  proteins  (antigens)  on  tumor  cells  that  classically  have  been  described  as  resulting  in  humoral  and  cellular  immune  responses.  However,  experimental  models  suggest  that  a  T-cell  (cell-mediated)  response  may  be  more  important  in  the  killing  of  tumor  cells  than  a  B-cell  (humoral)  response.
