MeSH Heading: Cell Migration Inhibition
Tree Number(s): G04.198.337
Unique ID: D002464
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D002464
Annotation: coordinate with specific cell/immunol; do not confuse with LEUKOCYTE ADHERENCE INHIBITION TEST
Scope Note: Phenomenon of cell-mediated immunity measured by in vitro inhibition of the migration or phagocytosis of antigen-stimulated LEUKOCYTES or MACROPHAGES. Specific CELL MIGRATION ASSAYS have been developed to estimate levels of migration inhibitory factors, immune reactivity against tumor-associated antigens, and immunosuppressive effects of infectious microorganisms.
