1. The cytopathogenic effects of rabbit and chicken anti-HeLa sera have been described. The action of the antisera was observed on HeLa cells, normal human cells, and a mouse mammary carcinoma in tissue culture.

  2. Rabbit and chicken anti-HeLa sera were shown to be cytotoxic for a variety of human tissues and not specifically directed against HeLa cells.

  3. Anti-HeLa serum, under the conditions described, had no effect on the in vitro growth of a mouse mammary carcinoma.

  4. The efficacy of rabbit cytotoxic antiserum upon HeLa cells “in vivo” has been demonstrated.
