Zusammenfassung

EMT-Indikator-Zellen wurden für 1 h im Überstand einer 3 h alten MLC inkubiert. Dann wurde ihre elektrophoretische Beweglichkeit mittels eines analytischen, trägerfreien Elektrophoresesystems gemessen. Die Änderung ihrer Beweglichkeit gegenüber einem Mediumstandard wurde in Prozent berechnet und mit den konventionell gemessenen MLR-cpm korreliert. Die Korrelation beider Größen ist entsprechend unseren Ergebnissen statistisch hoch signifikant. Es scheint möglich, mit dieser Methode bereits nach 4 h eine MLC als positiv oder negativ zu erkennen. Dieses Faktum könnte für die Histokompatibilitätstestung und die Transplantation von großer Bedeutung sein.

Summary

EMT indicator cells were incubated for 1 h in the supernatant of a 3 h MLC. Their electrophoretic mobility was then measured by an analytical, carrier-free electrophoresis system. The alteration of their mobility against a medium-standard was calculated in per cent and correlated with the conventional measured MLR-cpm. According to our results the correlation of the two quantities is statistically highly significant. This method could enable recognition of a positive or negative MLC after only 4 h. This fact could be of great importance for histocompatibility testing and transplantation.
