Leucocyte migration inhibition and rosette tests in pleural effusion. 1980

M Jakubusek-Przylipiak, and G Janicka, and A Zagorecka, and W Pregowski

Lymphocytes from pleural effusions have been examined with leucocyte migration inhibition tests (LMIT) and the numbers of B and T lymphocytes estimated. In cases of tuberculous pleurisy a positive LMIT was more frequent than in those of neoplastic etiology. In cases of other etiology no difference has been observed. The proportion of T lymphocytes in pleural effusions from patients with neoplasia was significantly higher (P < 0.01) than in other diseases. The number of B lymphocytes was also lower than in cases of other etiology (P < 0.01). The per cent distribution of T and B lymphocytes in tuberculous pleural effusion differed markedly from that of malignant etiology, in the former the proportion of B lymphocytes was high while that of T lymphocytes was low.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010996 Pleural Effusion Presence of fluid in the pleural cavity resulting from excessive transudation or exudation from the pleural surfaces. It is a sign of disease and not a diagnosis in itself. Effusion, Pleural,Effusions, Pleural,Pleural Effusions
D002464 Cell Migration Inhibition Phenomenon of cell-mediated immunity measured by in vitro inhibition of the migration or phagocytosis of antigen-stimulated LEUKOCYTES or MACROPHAGES. Specific CELL MIGRATION ASSAYS have been developed to estimate levels of migration inhibitory factors, immune reactivity against tumor-associated antigens, and immunosuppressive effects of infectious microorganisms.

D000368 Aged A person 65 years of age or older. For a person older than 79 years, AGED, 80 AND OVER is available. Elderly
D001402 B-Lymphocytes Lymphoid cells concerned with humoral immunity. They are short-lived cells resembling bursa-derived lymphocytes of birds in their production of immunoglobulin upon appropriate stimulation.

D012397 Rosette Formation The in vitro formation of clusters consisting of a cell (usually a lymphocyte) surrounded by antigenic cells or antigen-bearing particles (usually erythrocytes, which may or may not be coated with antibody or antibody and complement). The rosette-forming cell may be an antibody-forming cell, a memory cell, a T-cell, a cell bearing surface cytophilic antibodies, or a monocyte possessing Fc receptors. Rosette formation can be used to identify specific populations of these cells. Immunocytoadherence,Formation, Rosette,Formations, Rosette,Immunocytoadherences,Rosette Formations
