Electrophoretic mobility test for lymphocyte sensitization using tanned sheep erythrocytes

The M.E.M.-test was modified by using tanned sheep erythrocytes in place of guinea pig peritoneal macrophages as indicator calls. This modification is named the tanned sheep erythrocyte electrophoretic mobility (T.E.E.M.)-test. The present study was undertake to compare the kinetics of the two indicator systems. The T.E.E.M.-test appears to be simpler to perform than the M.E.M.-test and may be widely applicable in clinical immunology for the estimation of lymphocyte sensitization.
