This investigation attempts to determine which parts of the lipid molecule are most responsible for the increase in sensitivity of tumor cells to the membrane-toxic and cytostatic action of natural splenic effectors. The characteristics of the lipids used are presented. Splenocytes from BALB/c mice were treated beforehand with actinomycin D to prevent incorporation of tritium-uridine. Either tritium-uridine or tritium-thymidine was added to each well. The experiments showed that ovolecithin, alone, introduced into the membrane of the tumor did not affect its sensitivity to the cytostatic and membrane-toxic action of splenic effectors, whereas a mixture of brain gangliosides actually reduced the sensitivity of target cells.
