Evaluation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis specific RD antigens for delayed type hypersensitivity responses in guinea pig.
Tuberculin skin test (TST), an age old method is based on measuring delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response to purified protein derivative (PPD). However, inspite of simplicity, ease and cost effectiveness, the usefulness of PPD test is limited due to its inability to distinguish among a protective immune response, latent infection and active tuberculosis disease. On the other hand, a skin...
متن کاملDelayed cutaneous hypersensitivity to cell-free tumor antigens.
The exposure of two different methylcholanthrene-induced strain 2 guinea pig sarcomas to low-intensity sonic energy provided cell-free extracts that could elicit tumor-specific delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions. These extracts, when fractionated by diethylaminoethyl column chromatography, yielded u partially purified component capable of eliciting delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity r...

in agriculture, an application that accounts for approximately 40% of the total production of these agents. It is obviously impossible to give detailed descriptions of the many excellent papers in this volume, but some points may be noted. From a pharmacological viewpoint, the area of structure-activity relationships is particularly well covered in regard to penicillins (K. et al.) and lincomyc...
متن کاملDelayed Hypersensitivity
Exposure to picryl guinea pig albumin with 3-6 picryl groups per mole failed to affect the ability of peritoneal exudate or peripheral blood leukocytes from sensitized donors to transfer delayed sensitivity to normal recipients. In contrast, conjugates containing 40-48 picryl groups per mole altered the ability of exposed leukocytes to transfer delayed sensitivity. Evidence is presented that hi...
متن کاملDelayed Hypersensitivity
Guinea pigs infected by intradermal injection of living toxigenic diphtheria bacilli and protected by horse antitoxic globulin, given either before or after infection, develop delayed hypersensitivity of the tuberculin type to diphtherial proteins. The highest degree of hypersensitivity is specifically directed against diphtheria toxin (or toxoid) itself, although smaller delayed skin reactions...
