???displayArticle.abstract???
Axial organ cells (A.O.) which are composed of phagocytes and lymphocytes from the sea star Asterias rubens exert a spontaneous cytotoxicity against mouse tumour cells. This toxicity was tested in the presence or absence of silica. It appears that phagocytes play the role of killer cells.
