title: Detection of single antibody-secreting cells generated after in vitro antigen-induced stimulation of human peripheral blood lymphocytes.
abstract: Culture and assay procedures are described for the generation and the subsequent detection of single antigen-specific antibody-secreting cells after in vitro stimulation of human peripheral blood lymphocytes with tetanus toxoid. Simple, specific and sensitive, this new assay-culture system is well suited for the analysis of specific antibody production in man.
