title: The relation between technical variation and the mean in the mixed lymphocyte reaction in the rat.
abstract: Technical variation is a linear function of the incremental mean in the mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) and is independent of the immune status of the responders and the gene dose of the stimulators. Logarithmic transformation of the absolute count/control mean makes technical variation independent of the mean. We recommend that this transformation be used before parametric analysis of the data.
