Abstract

The effect of gold trichloride on DNA synthesis of human thymocytes and peripheral blood lymphocytes was tested. A stimulation was obtained in both cell types with a concentration of 6–50 μg/ml. Gold trichloride may thus not be used in a lymphocyte transformation test for the diagnosis of contact allergy.
