The anamnestic effect in tuberculin skin testing: measurement and time relations. Experiments in BCG-vaccinated guinea pigs. 1978

E H Lehmann

The repeat-test effect, an example of anamnestic effect in cellular immunity, was investigated in BCG-vaccinated guinea pigs, using 25 TU Mantoux tests to influence as well as assess skin reactivity to tuberculin. Two different methods of quantitating the effect were tried and found valuable. The effect could be regularly observed 12 weeks or more after BCG-vaccination, and with less regularly 6 to 9 weeks after BCG-vaccination. The effect was found whether the interval between the first (interim) test and the second (repeat) test was as short as 3 days or as long as 44 weeks.

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.

D007156 Immunologic Memory The altered state of immunologic responsiveness resulting from initial contact with antigen, which enables the individual to produce antibodies more rapidly and in greater quantity in response to secondary antigenic stimulus.

D001500 BCG Vaccine An active immunizing agent and a viable avirulent attenuated strain of MYCOBACTERIUM BOVIS, which confers immunity to mycobacterial infections. It is used also in immunotherapy of neoplasms due to its stimulation of antibodies and non-specific immunity.
