CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY TO DIROFILARIA IMMITIS
Japanese Journal of Medical Science and Biology, 1975 Cell-mediated immunity to Dirofilaria immitis (DI) in guinea pigs was confirmed by the migration inhibition test (MIT), the blast transformation test (BTT), the delayed skin reaction, and the skin reaction by passive transfer with sensitized peritoneal exudate (PE) cells. All migration inhibition (MI) positive cases were always associated with positive
