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.
