Abstract
Spreading of macrophages in experiments on guinea pigs with a model of pollinosis is delayed by specific allergen. Inhibition of spreading can also be obtained by treating macrophages of intact guinea pigs with allergens in combination with corresponding sera from patients with pollinosis. This phenomenon can be used in the writer's modification of a clinical diagnostic test for allergy.
