✦ Synopsis
Abstract
An antiserum to SF antigen was shown to be selectively cytotoxic to two human fibroblast lines, while two tumor cell lines (one melanoma and one Hela cell line) were resistant. The selective cytotoxicity was also demonstrable in mixtures of fibroblasts and tumor cells. The cytotoxic effect was abrogated by admixture of human serum containing SFA.
