Abstract
Natural cellโmediated cytotoxicity, observed on coโcultivation of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) with malignant melanoma tumor cells (M~4~), is described. The activity was inhibited when PBL were cultured in autologous serum. Studies using competitive inhibition with cold targets and stimulation of PBL with other tumor cell lines failed to detect specificity.

The tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) activity of cell-free extracts (TyH) of B16 melanoma cells cultured in the presence of 5 to 10 mM ammonium chloride was considerably higher than that of cells from control cultures. This increase in TyH in the presence of ammonium chloride seemed to be due to de novo sy
