skin window technique is used in immunology where the top layer of skin is scraped off making it possible to identify the immune response that would occur with a diminished physical barrier in the host, and observe mobilization of leukocytes.
It was developed by John Rebuck in 1955.

“Technique is the test of sincerity. If a thing isn’t worth getting the technique to say, it is of inferior value.”
