Human lymphocytes (purified from defibrinated venous blood using gelatin sedimentation, nylon column incubation, and Tris NH4Cl lysis of contaminating erythrocytes) were tested for cytotoxicity (CTX) against T24 cells derived from a carcinoma of the bladder and against cell cultures derived from other tissues. The CTX was assessed in a modified microcytotoxicity test (MCT) where loss of3H‐proline prelabelled monolayer target cells from the surface of micro‐wells indicates destruction of these cells. The number of target cells that remained attached after incubation with lymphocytes (measured as residual3H‐counts) was compared to the number that remained attached after incubation with control lymphocytes. The results were classified into three categories: (1) specific CTX (destruction only of T24 cells); (2) non‐specific CTX (destruction ofT24 cells as well as other target cells); and (3) negative (no destruction of any type of target cell). Specific CTX for T24 cells was seen more often with lymphocytes from bladder cancer patients (10/27) than from other patients and normal individuals (2/49) (p <0.001) which suggests that this is a disease‐related phenomenon. By contrast, non‐specific CTX occurred with equal frequency amopg bladder patients (6/27) and other patients (9/36), although less frequently among normal individuals (0/13). In addition, lymphocytes that showed specific CTX for T24 cells were found more often in patients with early or superficial bladder cancer (8/15) and less often in patients with advanced bladder cancer (2/12). These results are in agreement with those obtained by others who used the standard MCT that measures target‐cell destruction and influences on target‐cell proliferation.
