Peritoneal cells from mice infected ip withMycobacterium bovis, strain BCG, were cytotoxic to syngeneic tumor cells in vitro. Cytotoxicity was estimated by measurement of release of tritiated-thymidine (3H-TDR) from prelabeled target cells. The cell responsible for tumor cytotoxicity was the macrophage. Macrophages from uninfected mice or from oil-, starch-, or thioglycollateinduced peritoneal exudates had little effect on labeled tumor monolayers. Tumoricidal macrophages were present at 3–7 days and persisted through 6 weeks after a single BCG injection. Two neoplastic/nonneoplastic cell-line pairs, all four of the cell lines derived from a cloned syngeneic embryo cell line, were used as target cells for BCG-activated macrophages. Both tumor cell lines released significantly more3H-TDR than did the two nonneoplastic lines. In a mixed neoplastic/nonneoplastic target cell population, BCG-activated macrophages selectively destroyed the neoplastic cells; nonneoplastic cells were not affected as “innocent bystanders”.
