Preferred Label : leukocyte migration-inhibitory factors;
MeSH definition : Protein factor(s) released by sensitized lymphocytes (and possibly other cells) that
inhibit the movement of LEUKOCYTES, especially polymorphonuclear cells, away from
their site of release. Assays for these factors are used as tests for cellular immunity.
Two of the common assays are the LEUKOCYTE MIGRATION CAPILLARY TUBE TECHNIQUE (LMCT)
and the LEUKOCYTE MIGRATION AGAROSE TEST (LMAT).;
MeSH synonym : factors, leukocyte migration-inhibition; migration inhibitory factors, leukocyte; migration-inhibition factors, leukocyte; migration-inhibitory factors, leukocyte; migration inhibition factors, leukocyte; factors, leukocyte migration-inhibitory; leukocyte migration-inhibition factors; leukocyte migration inhibition factors; leukocyte migration inhibitory factors;
