In vitro Studies on Homograft Sensitivity

Nature volume 205, pages 916–917 (1965)Cite this article

Abstract

THE migration of cells from capillary tubes in tissue culture chambers has proved valuable in studies on delayed hypersensitivity in guinea-pigs1,2. Using this technique, it was observed that inhibition of migration of peritoneal cells from guinea-pigs with delayed hypersensitivity to tuberculin and other protein antigens occurs only in the presence of the specific antigen. On the other hand, peritoneal cells from guinea-pigs producing circulating antibody were not inhibited by the corresponding antigens.
