Cell-mediated immune reactions in measles

Abstract

Cell-mediated reactions in measles cases, in direct contacts and healthy children were tested. Indices of phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated blastic transformation and leukocyte migration inhibition were evaluated. Positive reactions were found in the first and second weeks after manifestation of clinical symptoms. The application of glucocorticosteroids in clinical complications resulted in delayed and reduced leukocyte migration inhibition. Studies on seronegative contacts suggested that positive cell-mediated reactions may appear before manifestation of clinical symptoms.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
