PURPOSE:To enable a simple, rapid, and correct measurement of a proportion of T cell and B cell, by a method wherein T cell suspension and B cell suspension are obtained from a leukocyte suspension. CONSTITUTION:The leukocyte suspension, stored in a test liquid storage receptacle 5, is supplied in each equal amount into T cell separator 6 and B cell separator 7, and are caused to penetrate into a separating agent wherewith the separators are filled. Instantly, or after the suspension is kept in a stationary manner for a specific period of time, a cleansing liquid in a receptacle 4 is fed into the separators 6 and 7 where their respective separating agents are washed, and unabsorbed T cells and B cells are fed out of the separators 6 and 7 togetherwith the cleansing liquid to be stored in receptacles 8 and 9. The number of cells in the T cell suspension and B cell suspension, which are stored therein, are measured by means of a detector 2 and are inputted to an arithmetic unit 3 where the proportion of the T cell and B cell in the lymphocyte and leukocyte or in the lymphocyte are computed. |
