Cytotoxic testing and leucocyte increase as an index to food sensitivity. II. Coffee and tobacco.
Cytotoxic testing has been used to identify and evaluate potential sensitizers among three adult age groups. Coffee and toabacco were used as single sensitizers to further illustrate the vivo WBC response technique, as an independent test for corroborating was advanced outlining a possible explanation of the cytotoxic test results. This theoretical approach might be used to study clinical problems where allergic etiologies are suspected.
