Abstract

Hypersensitivity of a delayed type to leukocyte hepatitis virus (LHV) was established in patients with virus hepatitis. The results of the skin tests with the LHV antigen were positive in 15 out of 20 patients with active chronic hepatitis, in 17 out of 20 convalescents and in 3 out of 20 patients in the acute stage of virus hepatitis, and negative in 4 normal subjects and in 12 out of 14 patients with chronic hepatitis in the stage of stabilization. The results of the skin tests with the antigen of donor leukocytes were negative in 130 patients with hepatitis and normal subjects. In the leukocyte migration inhibition test, 1/4 of the patients with chronic hepatitis were found to be sensitized to the LHV antigen, in the absence of sensitization by this test to the HB antigen and the antigen in the plasma of hepatitis patient.

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.
