Abstract excerpt
Measurement of lymphocyte proliferation to detect hypersensitivity to beryllium (Be-LPT) in vitro is done presently using a method based on tritiated thymidine incorporation. Although this method is sensitive it gives no information on cell viability or responding lymphocyte subsets. We have developed reliable and simple flow cytometric assays for lymphocyte proliferation testing (Immuno-Be-LPT) by combining...
