Target Cell Destruction In Vitro by Concanavalin A-Stimulated Lymphoid Cells

Howard J Schwartz, Frank Wilson
PMCID: PMC2047574  PMID: 5142268

Abstract

Guinea pig lymphoid cells obtained from lymph nodes and spleens of nonimmune animals are cytotoxic for mouse L-cell fibroblasts on incubation with concanavalin A. This effect is blocked by methyl-α-D-mannoside. The results indicate that this effect may be due to the release of a lymphotoxin by the concanavalin A-stimulated lymphocytes.
