Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 23 out of 27 (85%) patients with multiple sclerosis responded to MS brain homogenates by increased formation of active E‐rosettes. Lymphocytes from only six out of 78 (8 %) patients with other neurological diseases responded to MS brain homogenates. The possible value of the test in the diagnosis of MS is discussed.
