Popis: In experiments with hypo-, iso-, and hypertonic solutions taken at equimolar concentrations for equilibrium of osmotic conditions the leukocytolytic action of each of three nonelectrolytes was shown to be a parabolic function of osmotic concentrations. The comparative degree of leukocytolysis for urea is superior to that for glycerin and glucose and in inverse proportion to their molecular weight. As this difference depends on the chemical component of action, nonspecific leukocytolysisin vitro is considered as a test of comparative cytotoxicity in contrast to the specific (immunologic) cytotoxicity.
