Antilymphocyte serum given to suppress selectively the cell response to Langat virus in Swiss albino mice prolonged the average survival times. In vitro, lymph-node cells from virus-immunized mice were strongly cytotoxic for syngenic non-neuronal brain cells infected with virus. The implications of these findings are discussed, with particular reference to the concept of autoimmunity.
