Summary Heat‐treated and untreated sera from rats immune to Strongyloides ratti are capable of arming both immune and non‐immune macrophages and eosinophils in vitro . These cells are capable of killing larvae of the parasite. Electron microscopy has indicated multi‐point attachment of the cells to the epicuticular transverse grooves of the larvae within 4 and 24 h of incubation at 37°.
