Abstract Serum from 126 patients with various types of cancer and from 63 normal controls was examined by immunofluorescence for adenovirus 12 “t” antibody. Fourteen per cent of the cancer patients and 11% of the normals had antibody reactive with the adenovirus‐12‐infected green monkey kidney cells. The types of cancer which seemed most often to be associated with positively reacting sera were brain tumors, breast cancer and colon cancer.
