The effect of low concentrations of bovine encephalitogenic protein on the migration of human peripheral leukocytes in agarose was studied. A concentration of 0.3 mug/ml of the protein stimulated the migration of cells from many donors, including some healthy subjects. An indirect technique suggested that the migration enhancement is due to the production of soluble factor, possibly corresponding to the leukocyte migration enhancement factor described by others.
