Abstract An in vitro method based upon the specific action of thyroid extract upon the migration of leucocytes is presented. The specificity of the method in detecting a state of cellular hypersensitivity is discussed. The results presented indicate that patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis develop cellular hypersensitivity directed against constituents of the thyroid gland.
