the georgetown hkkald wednesday evening feb 25 1053 aok b bitot twt fh4 tditmt dlsaasts doctors in the near future may have a new blood test that will de tect the presence of various dis- eases and also measure the effec tiveness of different methods of medical treatment the basis for the new blood test known as the universal reaction conies from 5 years of continuous effort by dr reuben l kahn de veloper of the kahn test and chief of the serology laboratory at the university of michigan the following is a simplified ex pjanation of how dr kahn s uni versal reaction works 1 in a normal healthy individual there is daily tissue wear and tear re suiting in the death of certain bod tissue cells 2 whin ic cells are thus destroyed they break up and release their contents into body fluids including the blood stream q certain fat like substances called lipids arc part of the released cell contents 4 some of these lipids become foreign to the body tissues and call forth the production of antibodies presumably to neutral ize or destroy the lipids and 5 presence of these antibodies is meas ured by the universal reaction ontario womens institutes active in health programmes beine a
