Phytohaemagglutinin and transfer factor in the leucocyte migration inhibition test in patients with sarcoidosis.
نویسنده
چکیده
A new system of phytohaemagglutinin stimulation in vitro using the leucocyte migration inhibition test has been applied to patients with active and inactive sarcoidosis and subjects with a persistently negative response to tuberculin. Patients with active sarcoidosis and the tuberculin-negative subjects have a depressed response to the mitogen. This response is improved by the addition of transfer factor to the cultures.

Effect of phytohaemagglutinin in the leucocyte migration inhibition test as a measure of cell-mediated immunity.
Evaluation of responsiveness to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) in the leucocyte-migration inhibition test has been extended to a greater number of patients and control subjects to explore the range of the test. The patients, mainly with sarcoidosis, were found to be less responsive than controls. The conditions of the test in terms of concentration of PHA, duration of culture, and serum concentratio...
متن کاملTransfer factor--current status and future prospects.
We have detected new clues to the composition and function of "Transfer Factor" using the direct Leucocyte Migration Inhibition (LMI) test as an in vitro assay of Dialysates of Leucocyte Extracts (DLE). This approach has revealed two opposing antigen-specific activities to be present in the same > 3500 < 12,000 DA dialysis fraction - one activity is possessed of Inducer/Helper function (Inducer...
متن کاملLeucocyte migration studies with spleen preparations in Crohn's disease.
Thirty-nine patients with Crohn's disease and 17 normal people were tested for hypersensitivity to sarcoid and normal spleen suspensions using the leucocyte migration test. In 26% of the Crohn's cases migration was inhibited, whereas inhibition was not significant in the control group. Migration inhibition did not appear to be related to duration or activity of the disease. Sixty-two percent of...

متن کاملThe Kmif (Kveim-induced macrophage migration inhibition factor) test in sarcoidosis.
Circulating lymphocytes from 30 patients with sarcoidosis when stimulated in vitro with Kveim-induced macrophage migration factor, the Kmif test, produced a guinea-pig macrophage migration inhibition factor in 21 of 30 cases (70%). In those patients not on steroids the results showed a good correlation with the cutaneous Kveim test. One positive test was found in 16 normal subjects. Our results...
