Application of teem-test for investigations of cellular immune phenomena in multiple sclerosis.
Some evidence is presented for usableness of tanned erythrocytes in electrophoretic mobility (TEEM)-test. Two possibilities of application of TEEM-test for immunological investigation in multiple sclerosis are discussed: detection of lymphocyte sensitization against a soluble antigen (3 M KCl extracted) derived from a normal brain and measurement of mixed lymphocyte reactin (MLR) after a short-time lymphocyte culture. Results show some connection between autosensitization (TEEM-test using normal tissue antigen) and predisposition (TEEM-MLR-test).
