[A simplified macrophage migration inhibition test to measure T-cell derived immunity in man].

A macrophage migration inhibition test using heterologous cells (DMMTH) is performed in an agarose-droplet technique. A suspension consisting of peritoneal exsudate cells from Guinea pig and human lymphocytes, mixed with 0,2 percent agarose is dispensed in droplets with a dispenser into culture chambers used for the leukocyte migration inhibition test. Macrophages migrate out of the gelified droplets. Migration areas can be measured by planimetry. Migration areas are exact to 8.6 percent. A significant migration inhibition, caused by migration inhibitory factors is observed after the reaction of the specific antigen with sensitized lymphocytes in the agarose droplet. The sensitivity of the test has been demonstrated in Mantoux positive persons.
