| Clauberg test | A test for progestational activity; immature rabbits are treated with 8 daily injections of oestrogen and then given 5 daily injections of the test substance; the amount required to produce definite progestational changes in the endometrium is taken as the unit; it is equivalent to 0.75 mg of progesterone.

| photo-patch test | A test of contact photosensitization: after application of a patch with the suspected sensitiser for 48 hours to two sites, if there is no reaction one area is exposed to a weak erythema dose of sunlight or ultraviolet light; if positive, a more severe reaction with vesiculation develops at the exposed patch area than the nonexposed skin patch site.

Synonym: Geraghty's test, phthalein test, red test, Rowntree and Geraghty test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mixed lymphocyte culture test | Measure of histocompatibility at the hl-a locus. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from two individuals are mixed together in tissue culture for several days. Lymphocytes from incompatible individuals will stimulate each other to proliferate significantly (measured by tritiated thymidine uptake) whereas those from compatible individuals will not. In the one-way mlc test, the lymphocytes from one of the individuals are inactivated (usually by treatment with mitomycin c or radiation) thereby allowing only the untreated remaining population of cells to proliferate in response to foreign histocompatibility antigens.

| coccidioidin test | An intracutaneous test for determining the presence of infection with the fungus Coccidioides immitis; a reaction of delayed hypersensitivity indicates a positive test and is interpreted as meaning past or present infection with the fungus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Wang's test | A quantitative test for indican, which is transformed into indigo-sulfuric acid and then titrated by a solution of potassium permanganate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Molisch's test | A colour test for sugar, which condenses with alpha-naphthol or thymol in the presence of strong sulfuric acid, which converts the sugar to furfural derivatives. (05 Mar 2000) |
