title: Inflammation-inducing factors from human lymphocytes. Correlation with polymorphonuclear leucocyte migration enhancement of inhibition.
abstract: Factors capable of inducing inflammatory reactions in the skin of normal guinea pigs have been demonstrated in culture supernatants from PPD-stimulated human mononuclear cells from tuberculin-positive donors. The reaction is characterised by erythema, induration and infiltration with mononuclear cells and some polymorphonuclear leucocytes. These supernatants either enhance or do not affect polymorph migration in the leucocyte migration test. Supernatants that inhibit migration in vitro produce a marked polymorph infiltration upon intradermal injection.
