title: Human intracranial tumors: effect of autologous serum addition on leucocyte migration inhibition.
abstract: 42 human intracranial tumours were investigated by the leucocyte migration inhibition technique at various antigen concentration with and without autologous serum addition. A correlation was found between migration rate and antigen concentration. Autologous serum addition resulted in a non-specific stimulation of migration, however, stimulation by immune complexes was also present. Migration stimulation, as an in-vitro-equivalent of immunologic tumor enhancement, is discussed.
