A significantly higher proportion of female hamsters developed tumors than did males given the same dose of adenovirus-12 (Huie) at birth over a dose range from 10(5.0) to 10(7.0)tcd(50) for human embryonic kidney cells. The 50% tumor dose (td(50)) was calculated to be 10(5.90)tcd(50) for females and 10(6.27) for males. Tumor response patterns induced with approximate td(50) inocula, 10(6.0) for females and 10(6.3) for males, were quite similar. The greater susceptibility of females was not found to be characteristic of a single strain of hamsters; nor was it attributable to a single lot of virus, to a single type of human cell used to produce the virus, nor to the degree of purification of the virus inoculum. The inoculation route did not appear to be of importance. Inasmuch as the foregoing extrinsic factors were of little influence, it was concluded that the mechanism is host-mediated, presumably hormonally controlled. The possibility that female cells, independent of host control, are more susceptible to adenovirus-12 oncogenesis than male cells has not been explored. Tumor regression occurred in 20% of the 211 tumors in males and in 15% of the 355 tumors in females. Adenovirus-12 T-antibody was detected in all but six of 473 sera tested from tumor-bearing hamsters and in 50% of 94 sera tested from non-tumor-bearing animals given virus at birth. Antibodies in the latter group were detected almost exclusively by indirect immunofluorescence. This technique appears to be extremely sensitive for detection of low levels of adeno-12 T-antibodies. The implications of T-antibody in nontumor-bearing virus-injected hamsters are discussed. Sera from normal hamsters were free of T-antibody.
