## Abstract Lymphโnode cells (LNC) from multiparous pregnant rats were separated on columns prepared from nylon wool, and tested for cytotoxicity against target tumour cells. Reactivity of LNC towards hepatoma D23 and mammary carcinoma AAF57 was demonstrated in cell populations retained on the nylo

Abstract
Guineaโpig lymphโnode cells (LNC) cultured for 5 days in medium containing fetal calf serum (FCS) were cytotoxic to various target cells. LNC cultured in medium supplemented with fresh, autologous guineaโpig serum (GPS) instead of FCS were not detectably cytotoxic unless agents that stimulate lymphocyte proliferation were added to the culture medium. The stimulating agents we studied were 2โmercaptoethanol (2โME), syngeneic tumor cells, allogeneic peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) and the Tโcell mitogens concanavalin A (Con A) and phytohemagglutinin (PHA). LNC cultured in the presence of these agents were cytotoxic to normal syngeneic fibroblasts and to syngeneic, allogeneic or xenogeneic tumor cells but not to PHAโinduced lymphoblasts. Potentiation of cytotoxicity in vitro was accompanied by a marked proliferation of the cultured LNC; the combination of several stimulatory agents had an additive effect on the generation of cytotoxicity in culture.

Results suggest that cytotoxicity by cells from nodes regional to a primary tumor is unique. While a primary tumor was present, A) cytotoxicity was displayed by cells from lymph nodes (RLNs) to that tumor, B) cells from nonregional lymph nodes regional (NRLNs) possessed lesser cytotoxicity which fai
