A study was carried out in 16 children with perennial allergic asthma to evaluate the use of the leucocyte migration inhibition factor, one of the indicators of cellular change effected by specific antigens, as a measure of the efficacy of desensitization therapy with a tyrosine-adsorbed house dust mite vaccine.
