[Investigations for the use of micromodification of lymphocyte transformation test in patients with lung disease (author's transl)].

In a preliminary study a micromodification of lymphocyte transformation test was examined for use in patients with specific and nonspecific lung diseases. Investigation was carried out about the influence of different conditions in the cell culture system. A micromodification was defined and introduced in the clinic simultaneously to the conventional macromodification of lymphocyte transformation test. This micro lymphocyte transformation test is of use for determination of cell mediated immunity. However, in the described form it is doubtful for the detection of present specific sensibilization.
