Abstract
THE cytotoxic effect on mouse ascites tumour cells treated in vitro with various antibodies has been shown to require the presence of complement1,2. In the absence of complement the cells appear to be normal when viewed by phase contrast microscopy3; they retain their capacity to exclude trypan blue2 and to metabolize glucose4. The only changes which have been reported are slight alterations in the fine structure of the cell surface, which were thought to favour agglutination by rabbit antibody directed against ascites cells3.
