[Examination of cell-mediated immunity using the leukocyte migration inhibition test in agarose].

The 2-phase-leucocyte-migration-inhibition-test in agarose after Clausen is suitable for the proof of the cell-mediated immunity. Compared with the capillary technique of Soborg and Bendixen it has some methodical advantages. Between the migration inhibition against tuberculin and the result of the intracutaneous tuberculin testing a significant negative correlation was the result. The migration inhibition against a streptolysin-streptokinase-mixture was provable in 21 out of 22 patients with renal insufficiency in the same size as in clinically healthy persons.
