A long-lasting enhancing effect of anti-tuberculin antiserum on delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction in BCG-infected guinea pigs. 1980

H Mauch, and H J Hammer, and G Kümel

Anti-tuberculin serum and anti-BCG immunoglobulins from immunized guinea pigs were transferred into recipient guinea pigs which had been infected with BCG. An enhancement of tuberculin skin reactivity was observed 7 and 35 days after transfer of homologous antiserum in comparison to a control group. This indicates a modulating effect of humoral factors, presumably specific antibodies on the expression of delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction after immunostimulation with BCG.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
