Four patients were tested to determine whether lymphokine activity could be produced by their peripheral blood leukocytes exposed to jellyfish antigens. One patient was a false positive reactor, one had a prolonged lymphokine response three years after a persistent eruption induced by the venom, and one had lymphokine activity associated only with the cutaneous eruption. These results support the hypothesis that T cell function may be important in the pathogenesis of cutaneous lesions following coelenterate envenomation.
对四名患者进行了测试，以确定其暴露于水母抗原的外周血白细胞是否能产生淋巴因子活性。一名患者为假阳性反应者，一名患者在被毒液引起持续性皮疹三年后出现延长的淋巴因子反应，还有一名患者的淋巴因子活性仅与皮肤皮疹相关。这些结果支持以下假说，即T细胞功能在腔肠动物蜇伤后皮肤损伤的发病机制中可能很重要。
