Abstract
In experiments designed for the study of interactions in vitro between the cells of glioblastoma multiforme and lymphocytes from the same donor, a marked eosinophilic response was noted in three out of six cases. This was an entirely unexpected finding since few, if any, eosinophils survive in tissue cultures. These cells incorporated 3H-cytidine and 3H-leucine 72 hours after the cultures had been established, an indication that they were metabolically active.
