The first edition of this collaborative research monograph (1973) was 

 briefly reviewed in Gen. Embryol. Inf. Serv. vol.15 part 2, 1974. For the 

 2nd edition all the original 17 chapters were revised and updated (rarely 

 beyond 1975 or '76) and four new chapters were added: two on phospholipids 

 (pulmonary surfactant) and one each on alpha-fetoprotein and alkaline phos- 

 phatase. There are now 30 contributors in all.

Oncoembryonic antigens are embryonic or fetal gene products found in neo- 

 plastic cells. The subject is of considerable theoretical and practical in- 

 terest to developmental biologists who work on the regulation of gene expres- 

 sion. Although this book was written mainly for oncologists, several chapters 

 will be useful to mammalian erabryologists . 



This holds particularly for the review by Solter and Damjanov on teratocar- 

 cinoma and the expression of oncodevelopmental genes. There is another chap- 

 ter on teratocarcinoma-derived cell lines stabilised by SV40 transformation, 

 by Levine. The chapter by Hirai deals largely with alpha-fetoprotein in both 

 normal ontogeny and cancer. The remaining seven chapters are either predomi- 

 nantly clinical or methodological in nature.
