Leucocyte migration inhibition and rosette tests in pleural effusion

European Journal of Respiratory Diseases

Abstract

Lymphocytes from pleural effusions have been examined with leucocyte migration inhibition tests (LMIT) and the numbers of B and T lymphocytes estimated. In cases of tuberculous pleurisy a positive LMIT was more frequent than in those of neoplastic etiology. In cases of other etiology no difference has been observed. The proportion of T lymphocytes in pleural effusions from patients with neoplasia was significantly higher (P < 0.01) than in other diseases. The number of B lymphocytes was also lower than in cases of other etiology (P < 0.01). The per cent distribution of T and B lymphocytes in tuberculous pleural effusion differed markedly from that of malignant etiology, in the former the proportion of B lymphocytes was high while that of T lymphocytes was low.

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.
