Immunity System Thought To Hold The

in the diagnosis and treatment
of the disease, it was learned
at the American Cancer So
ciety's Science Writers' Semi

The two young investigators,
both Ph.D's, were Drs. Edwin
L. Cooper, 33, Associate Pro

35, Associate Professor of Bio
chemistry at Boston Univer

grafting tissue from other
worms onto them, and then
