Brief communication: technical modifications of the human agarose microdroplet leukocyte migration inhibition assay. 1978

Direct leukocyte migration inhibition assays using the capillary tube technique can be used to demonstrate cell-mediated immunity in vitro. Unfortunately, the cumbersome nature of this technique makes it time consuming and difficult to perform. Similar results have been obtained using the direct agarose microdroplet leukocyte migration inhibition assay. In this paper, modifications of the agarose technique are outlined which insure standardization of droplets and ease of performance of the assay. Additionally a technique is described to reduce the time required for calculation of results.

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.
