SUMMARY Patients with wart virus infections and control subjects were examined to assess their cell‐mediated immune response to wart antigen, using an in vitro system, the leukocyte migration inhibition test. It was found that, at the time of resolution of the infection, immunity increased. The possible implica‐tions of this are discussed.
