## Abstract Natural cellβmediated cytotoxicity in rats as well as in mice has been shown to vary consistently with age, with peak levels detectable at 5β10 weeks. The levels of cellβmediated cytotoxicity against tumor cells could be augmented in strains of inbred rats with either high or low levels
## Abstract We have developed a new model to test the __in vivo__ functions of NK cells. Injection of B6 mice with as little as 25 ΞΌl of an NKβspecific alloantiserum, antiβNK I.I, significantly reduced the recipient's NK activity. The reduction, monitored __in vitro__ as a decrease in the ability o
Intravenous injection of rabbit anti-asialo-GM, serum, M antiserum previously shown to eliminate splenic natural killer (NK) activity in vitro, profoundly depressed NK activity in CBA, DBN2 and BALBIc nu/nu mice. The effect on N K activity was selective, as treatment of mice with anti-asialo-GM, ser
