Relation between reduced electrophoretic mobility of human lymphocytes and the inhibition of spreading of human monocytes caused by the same anti-human lymphocyte globulin.
Slowing of electrophoretic mobility of human peripheral blood lymphocytes after adding anti-human lymphocyte globulin (AHLG) in vitro correlated with indices of the monocyte spreading inhibition obtained by the same AHLG. Consequently, electrophoretic results may be associated with the prolongation of skin allograft survival in primates - the best and the only practical in vivo test for determination of the immunosuppressive potency of AHLG. If so, the simple electrophoretic test could be used in combination with other in vitro tests, preferably for monitoring of the AHLG production.
