## Abstract These studies were initiated to understand the minimal requirements for lysis of target cells by cytotoxic thymus‐derived lymphocytes (CTL). In particular, the significance of the nucleus to the susceptibility of the target cell to be lysed by CTL have been studied. P815 mastocytoma cel

Abstract
It was previously observed that MOPC‐315EL, a subline of the BALB/c myeloma tumor MOPC‐315, varies in its ability to interact with primary anti‐H‐2^d^ cytotoxic thymus‐derived lymphocytes (CTL) while remaining invariant in its expression of cell surface antigens recognized by anti‐H‐2^d^ sera. This paper demonstrates (a) that secondary anti‐H‐2^d^ CTL also fail to recognize the late tumor cells, and (b) that two other CTL systems (anti‐minor histocompatibility antigens and anti‐2,4,6‐trinitrophenyl), which require recognition of both H‐2 products and other surface antigens, also fail to react with the late tumor cells. The defect in the late tumor cells was evident when they were used as targets, inhibitors, and stimulators of CTL activity.

The study of specific immunity in human cancers has been hampered by the elusive distribution and heterogeneity of effector cells. In this study, we have investigated the distribution of autologous melanoma-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in 18 different distant metastases from melanomas (9
