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
## Abstract Sera from many patients with tumors showed demonstrable cytotoxic antibody activity against selected human tumor cells in culture. The antibody activity detected in the present study was not found to be specific for tumors, but was shown to be directed against an antigen that is serolog
