In Vitro Methods in Cell-Mediated Immunity
About this book
In Vitro Methods in Cell-Mediated Immunity focuses on methods for approaching cell-mediated immune responses in vitro. This book provides, in simplified in vitro systems, a basis for understanding the mechanism of the in vivo response and discusses useful and reliable in vitro tests for cell-mediated immune responses in humans, where in vivo testing is often not possible. The topics discussed include factors and activities produced in vitro by lymphocytes; biological implications of in vitro phenomena; and requirements and prospects for improved methodology. The leucocyte migration technique for in vitro detection of cellular hypersensitivity in man; proliferation of human blood lymphocytes stimulated by antigen in vitro; and virus plaque assay for antigen-sensitive are also elaborated in this text. This publication is a good reference for microbiologist and immunologists, including medical students researching on in vitro models for cell-mediated immune reactions.

THE ASSAY OF INHIBITION OF MACROPHAGE MIGRATION AND THE PRODUCTION OF MIGRATION INHIBITORY FACTOR (MIF) AND SKIN REACTIVE FACTOR (SRF) IN THE GUINEA PIG*
Barry R. Bloom and Boyce Bennett
Publisher Summary
The capillary tube method for studying the inhibition of macrophage migration in vitro has been widely shown to be a useful correlate of delayed-type hypersensitivity in experimental animals. Recent reports indicate its potential usefulness in man. In animal studies, the technique has been successfully applied for the detection of transplantation antigens and cell-associated tumor antigens, as well as soluble tumor antigens. It has been shown that this reaction is mediated by a soluble factor, produced by sensitized lymphocytes upon stimulation by specific antigen, that is, migration inhibitory factor. Culture supernatants containing this factor...
