Abstract

The migration of splenic cells from hormonally bursectomized chickens was inhibited by the antigen. On the other hand, the migration of splenic cells from thymectomized-irradiated chickens was not inhibited. The migration inhibition test of splenic cells is dependent on a function of thymus-dependent cells.
