Abstract Mice were given a single intraperitoneal injection of L1210 cells preincubated either in interferon or in “pseudointerferon.” On the tenth day the mice were killed and the cytotoxicity of the sera against cells of leukemia L1210 was determined by the microcytotoxic test (a modification of Terasaki's method). Leukemic cells treated with interferon before immunization induced a more marked immune response than cells treated under the same conditions with “pseudointerferon.” The immune response, judging from the results of the cytotoxic test, was enhanced by two to four times.
