Abstract
Preliminary incubation of normal nonimmune splenic lymphocytes from C57BL/6j and BALB/c mice for 45 min at 37°C with levamisole (1·10−4 to 1·10−5 M) followed by washing potentiated the cytotoxic effect against allogeneic target cells (L cells). When lymphocytes and levamisole were added to the culture of target cells simultaneously no cytotoxic effec occurred.
