Glucocorticoids have diverse effects on various components of the immune system and assessment of such activities in vivo often involves complex techniques and numerous animals. We developed a whole blood technique for determining proliferation rate of lymphocytes in minute amounts of rat blood (5 m
The in vitro immunosuppressive potency of several therapeutic corticosteroids was investigated using a whole-blood lymphocyte proliferation assay. The selected steroids included beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP), betamethasone (BET), budesonide (BUD), dexamethasone (DEX), flunisolide (FLU), fluticas
## Abstract Lymphocyte proliferation in response to mitogens, phytohemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A, pokeweed, and/or specific antigens has been the method of choice for in vitro diagnosis of cellβmediated immune dysfunction. Recently, an assay to measure intracellular adenosine triphosphate (AT
