Abstract
The effects of delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity (DCH) testing (Multitest) on lymphocyte counts and functions were studied in 7 healthy women. All had normal DCH responses and lymphocyte functions. No influence of the DCH testing on subsequent tests for lymphocyte subpopulations and mitogen- and antigen-induced DNA synthesis was observed. The PPD [purified protein derivative] skin test did not boost or otherwise alter the in vitro lymphocyte response to PPD. Multitest is a simple way of assessing DCH and does not interfere with repeatd in vitro tests of lymphocyte capacity.Keywords
