During the course of studies in inbred Strain 2 Guinea pigs on in vitro cell-mediated cytotoxicity to viral induced fibrosarcomas, it was observed that fetal calf serum in the medium in which the target cells were grown was responsible in some instances for much of the cytotoxicity observed. This fetal calf serum-specific cytotoxicity seemed mainly mediated by T cells and appeared to be independent on histocompatibility between target and killer cells.
