title: A simple allogeneic test system for the study of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) in man.
abstract: A simple allogeneic test system for the study of ADCC activity of human mononuclear peripheral blood leucocytes (MPBL) is presented. The test uses human Rh-positive erythrocytes as target cells coated with specific human IgG antibody. The effector function of human MPBL is demonstrated after depletion of most of the monocytes and B lymphocytes on nylon wool column. The test system seems to be useful in the clinical study of ADCC activity in man.
