title: Delayed hypersensitivity and borderline essential hypertension.
abstract: By means of the leucocyte migration technique, it has been demonstrated that the migration indices from 19 patients suffering from borderline essential hypertension are significantly different from those of 19 normal persons. These results support the view that delayed hypersensitivity directed against arterial wall components is a possible pathogenetic factor in patients suffering from essential hypertension.
