Abstract
Macrophages were isolated from the peritoneal cavity of rats treated with BCG. These macrophages were cytotoxic for syngeneic intestinal cancer cells cultivated in vitro. Cytotoxicity was demonstrated by a new quantitative assay using acidic elution of methylene blue staining the residual cells.
