An evaluation of the rosette inhibition test in Crohn's disease. 1974

J R Clarke, and E R Richens, and M J Williams, and K R Gough, and R J Ancill

Serial rosette inhibition tests were performed on nine patients with Crohn's disease undergoing immunosuppressive therapy in an attempt to estimate the minimum amount of drug necessary to maintain immunosuppression. The rosette inhibition titre was found to be higher in immunosuppressed patients than in normal subjects. However, there was no consistent correlation of the rosette inhibition titre with the degree of activity of the disease. The test is therefore not sufficiently discriminative to be used as a basis on which to control drug dosage.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007104 Immune Adherence Reaction A method for the detection of very small quantities of antibody in which the antigen-antibody-complement complex adheres to indicator cells, usually primate erythrocytes or nonprimate blood platelets. The reaction is dependent on the number of bound C3 molecules on the C3b receptor sites of the indicator cell.

D007165 Immunosuppression Therapy Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs.
