Abstract
A diagnostic test is described for the assay of human and animal immune system response, in vitro. The test measures production in a peripheral blood lymphocyte population of a material that is an index of mitogen-induced immune response. Adaptations of the test are provided for the titration of amplifier dosage, and for a determination whether amplifier treatment is warranted for immunodeficient patients such as those with AIDS or ARC.
