Abstract

The macrophage electrophoretic mobility test described by Caspary and Field (1971) and modified by Pritchard et al. (1973) was investigated in various models of cell-mediated immune conditions in the guinea-pig and in cancer in man. No positive results were obtained in 92 guinea-pig experiments. Only 17 of 154 experiments on 74 patients gave definite positives in experiments with human cancer and a few positive results were obtained with normal healthy subjects.
