The use of the macrophage electrophoretic mobility test for the diagnosis of eye diseases
Abstract
The MEM test by FIELD and CASPARY has been investigated for its importance in analyzing the cell-mediated immunity in ophthalmology. Sensitized lymphocytes of patients are incubated in vitro either with basic encephalitogenic protein for investigating malignoma or with various eye antigens for investigating chronic ocular diseases. The eye antigens have been fractionated by gel chromatography and identified by various immune sera. The sensitized lymphocytes are released in vitro by incubation with antigen a factor which reduces the electrophoretic mobility of guinea pig macrophages.
