Homograft Target Cells: Contact Destruction in vitro by Immune Macrophages

Abstract
Specific adherence of immune macrophages to monolayers of target cells is a passive phenomenon which represents only the first step in the mutually destructive interaction of immune macrophages and target cells. A specific hemagglutinin, responsible for specific adherence, was eluted from well-washed immune macrophages by heat treatment. The nature of the events in the interaction subsequent to adherence are unknown, but apparently demand the biosynthetic activities of the immune macrophage.
