In Vitro Correlates of Delayed Hypersensitivity in Man: Ambiguity of Polymorphonuclear Neutrophils as Indicator Cells in Leukocyte Migration Test

Delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity (DCH) of 12 normal adult subjects to purified protein derivative (PPD) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, streptococcal streptokinase-streptodornase (SK-SD), and Candida albicans Dermatophytin O (DO) was assayed in vivo by skin testing and compared with such in vitro correlates of cellular immunity as lymphocyte transformation (LT) and inhibition of leukocyte migration (ILM) from microcapillary tubes or in agarose gel. LT was shown to be the best in vitro correlate of specific lymphocyte sensitization with all antigens. In the ILM assays, PPD showed good correlation with in vivo DCH and in vitro LT; SK-SD showed partial correlation; DO showed no correlation, not being active in any of the ILM tests. Cell distribution and morphology of stained migration patterns, ILM tests performed on separated populations of lymphocytes and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), as well as the ability of test antigens to stimulate PMN cells to reduce nitroblue-tetrazolium dye, indicated that in ILM tests mononuclear cells were not inhibited in their migration, whereas migration of PMN cells appeared to depend on their direct reaction with the test antigens.
