The macrophage electrophoretic migration (MEM) test for lymphocyte sensitization (Field & Caspary, 1971; Caspary & Field, 1971) has been used to study a number of problems (reviewed by Field, 1972) and seems widely applicable in clincial immunology. Whilst the conditions of the test have been established empirically and it is known to involve protein synthesis by both lymphocytes (Caspary, 1971) and the indicator macrophages (Caspary, 1972) the kinetics of the test have not previously been investigated. Some observations of the effects of variation in antigen dosage and in number of lymphocytes employed, `avidity' of antigen and dilution of macrophage slowing factor (MSF) are here presented.
用于淋巴细胞致敏的巨噬细胞电泳迁移(MEM)试验(菲尔德和卡斯帕里,1971年;卡斯帕里和菲尔德,1971年)已被用于研究许多问题(菲尔德综述,1972年),并且似乎在临床免疫学中广泛适用。虽然该试验的条件是通过经验确定的,并且已知其涉及淋巴细胞(卡斯帕里,1971年)和指示巨噬细胞(卡斯帕里,1972年)的蛋白质合成,但该试验的动力学以前尚未研究过。本文介绍了关于抗原剂量变化、所用淋巴细胞数量、抗原“亲和力”以及巨噬细胞趋化因子(MSF)稀释的一些观察结果。
