The statistical distribution of macrophage migration distance and its application to MIF test.
The measurement of the distance of macrophage migration is very simple and reasonable as a technique in MIF assay. By the use of this technique, a large scale model experiment was performed and its data were analysed statistically. As the result of analysis, Student's t-test for significance of the difference between control and test readings of migration distance at low activity level in the MIF test was justified, and it was proved that it is applicable to the routine MIF test. In addition to this, the measurement of migration distance was compared with that of migration area.
