A simple method of evaluating delayed type hypersensitivity in mice.
Delayed type hypersensitivity reactions in mice sensitized to dinitrofluorobenzene were assessed by measuring the increase in weight of the ears challenged with antigen. The method has proved reliable for assessment of DTH reactions when results are expressed as weight ratios between challenged and unchallenged ears.
