✦ Synopsis

Cytotoxic cells comparable to N K cells were induced in the spleens of C57B1/6 mice after IP injection of BCG. This activity was directed against target cells that were not spontaneously lysed by C57B1/6 splenocytes. Various procedures for identification of the effectors indicated that two different types of cytotoxic activity were involved.
