The present invention provides a method for testing an allergy capable of rapidly and highly accurately testing an allergic reaction. The method can determine whether or not a patient has an allergy or whether or not an agent that may be allergenic to a patient has an allergenicity (an allergic reactivity) in the patient. The method may comprise the steps of causing migration of leukocytes separated from a healthy human or cells of an established cell line with a chemotactic factor contained in a sample such as body fluid or blood of the patient to be tested or a sample stimulated with the agent that may be allergenic to the patient and analyzing the cell kinetics such as migration velocity, migration distance, and migration direction.

Provided are a tumor proliferation inhibitor and a method for inhibiting tumor proliferation both of which can be applied to a minimally invasive cancer treatment using low-intensity pulsed ultrasound. The present invention provides a tumor proliferation inhibitor containing an ultrasound-sensitive substance and an acoustic cavitation phenomenon-enhancing substance, and provides a method for inhibiting tumor proliferation that can exhibit a tumor proliferation-inhibitory effect using the tumor proliferation inhibitor in combination with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound of a degree that is used in ultrasound diagnosis, and that can be applied to a minimally invasive cancer treatment using low-intensity pulsed ultrasound.
