## The cytotoxic antibody in normal human serum, active against mouse tumor cells, was identified as a 19s macroglobulin by means of Sephadex gel filtration, DEAEcellirlose chromatography and density-gradient centrifugation procedures. A purified IgM fraction was isolated ji-om normal human serum.

โฆ Synopsis
A quantitative cytolytic assay system was developed for the titration of the natural cytotoxin of human serum ( N H S j which is active against Landschutz ascites tumor cells. The assay system consists of NHS,, or N H S as a source of antibody and human umbilical cord serum as a source of complement.

## Each value in the Table is the arithmetic mean of the values obtained in two similar experiments. The amount of antibody activity present in the unabsorbed serum was taken as 100:1,. The ratio between the specific activities (in LD,, unitsjmg) of the eluate and the unabsorbed serum.
