    This study presents a simple whole blood assay to measure lymphocyte reactivity to mitogens and antigens. The method allows for large-scale screening of experimental and clinical materials with minimal blood samples.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Cellular Biology

    Background:

    • Assessing lymphocyte function is crucial for understanding immune responses.
    • Existing methods for measuring lymphocyte reactivity can be complex and time-consuming.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a simple, rapid, and efficient assay for quantifying lymphocyte reactivity.
    • To enable large-scale screening of substances affecting immune cell function.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizes whole blood, eliminating the need for cell isolation.
    • Employs microtiter plates for high-throughput processing.
    • Incorporates an automated cell harvester for streamlined analysis.

    Main Results:

    • The assay is simple and expedient, requiring minimal blood volume.
