Abstract
The present invention provides methods and kits for measuring a cell-mediated immune (CMI) in a small volume of whole undiluted blood collected from a subject. In particular, the methods are for measuring responses in undiluted whole blood samples having a volume of, for example, 50 μl to 500 μl. Thus, capillary sampling and rapid testing of subjects including pediatric, adult or geriatric human subjects are facilitated.
