Abstract:
The objective of this review is to describe some recent methods which are used to examine the specific and non-specific cellular defense of the body. Greatest attention is devoted to methods which are not mentioned in the publication "Selected diagnostic methods in medical immunology" by J. Procházková (Prague, Avicenum 1986). The article summarizes data from the literature on recent examination methods of various parameters of cellular immunity such as detection of surface membrane antigens of immunocompetent cells, examination of cytotoxic activity, blastic transformation and activation of cells of the immune system.
