Abstract
Summary
The 99mTc microcytotoxicity assay is a simple and sensitive means of assessing cell-mediated immunity in vitro. The short labeling time and high binding affinity of the nuclide are significant advantages over other radioisotopic assays which have been described. The short half-life is adequately compensated for by the high labeling efficiency and specific activity of the isotope.
