title: Mouse metrial gland cells do not kill Yac-1 myeloma cells.
abstract: Mouse metrial gland cell suspensions, which included granulated metrial gland cells, were assessed for their ability to lyse NK cell target Yac-1 myeloma cells in a 51chromium release cytotoxicity assay. Metrial gland cells did not kill Yac-1 cells even after in vivo stimulation of NK cytotoxicity activity by polyinosilic-cytidilic acid. The precise relationship of granulated metrial gland cells to the NK cell lineage remains to be clarified.
