Immunological sequelae of Trichinella spiralis infection in mice. II. Potentiation of cell-mediated response to BCG after infection with Trichinella spiralis. 1974

R H Cypess, and J A Molinari, and J L Ebersole, and A S Lubiniecki

Mice were infected with 200 Trichinella spiralis 14 days after intravenous administration of 4 x 10(6) viable BCG cells. Individual groups were tested for delayed hypersensitive footpad responses at 14, 20, 29, 57, or 85 days after T. spiralis infection. An initial suppression in the 14-day test group was observed; however, mice tested at later time intervals exhibited potentiation of the 24-h footpad reaction to old tuberculin over that elicited by appropriate controls. This suggested that T. spiralis induces a potentiation of the cellular immune response to BCG. Adoptive transfer studies support the cell-mediated nature of the observed footpad reaction and indicated that the initial suppression was not due to physiological factors preventing the expression of the footpad swelling reaction.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006968 Hypersensitivity, Delayed An increased reactivity to specific antigens mediated not by antibodies but by sensitized T CELLS. Hypersensitivity, Tuberculin-Type,Hypersensitivity, Type IV,Tuberculin-Type Hypersensitivity,Type IV Hypersensitivity,Delayed Hypersensitivity,Delayed Hypersensitivities,Hypersensitivity, Tuberculin Type,Tuberculin Type Hypersensitivity,Tuberculin-Type Hypersensitivities,Type IV Hypersensitivities
D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D007165 Immunosuppression Therapy Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D005260 Female Females
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
