54 out of 112 patients with leukaemia have been shown to produce a lymphocytotoxin in their serum when the number of malignant cells present in the peripheral blood was considerably raised but the normal blood cells were low. This lymphocytotoxin reacts with all normal cells. It is a high molecular weight protein, though not an antibody. Partial purification was achieved by elution from DEAE-52-cellulose at about pH 6.9
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
