Leucocyte aggregation and lymphocyte transformation induced by mercuric chloride.
Leuco-aggregation tests carried out on normal subjects using the non-specific mitogen mercuric chloride produced micro-aggregates in the concentration range 2-100 mug/ml with a peaking effect at about 10 mug/ml. These results showed good correlation with lymphocyte transformation test thymidine uptake ratios which were maximal at 2-10 mug/ml.
