Resistance to chemically-induced mammary tumors in the Copenhagen rat is well defined, but the mechanism of resistance has yet to be determined. We have tested whether or not Copenhagen rat resistance is dependent on T-cells, since several lines of evidence supported an involvement of the immune...
