Specific suppressor T cells for delayed-type hypersensitivity in susceptible mice immunized against cutaneous leishmaniasis.
BALB/c mice injected intravenously with 10(6) or higher doses of formaldehyde-fixed promastigotes (ffp) of Leishmania major developed significantly lower levels of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) compared with uninjected control mice when they were subsequently immunized intradermally with ffp. The suppression of DTH was antigen specific and was also inducible with lethally irradiated proma...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin E antileishmanial antibody response in cutaneous leishmaniasis.
High levels of antileishmanial immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies are associated with disease activity in visceral leishmaniasis. Herein, we report our observations about the relationship between antileishmanial IgE antibodies and clinical aspects of cutaneous leishmaniasis. This study was carried out with 45 patients (29 male and 16 female), with ages ranging from 11 to 48 years. All subjects w...
متن کاملImmune cell populations in cutaneous delayed-type hypersensitivity
Delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) is a prototypic T lymphocyte-mediated response to antigenic challenge. In this study, mononuclear cells infiltrating the skin during cutaneous response to tuberculin in presensitized human subjects (responders) and nonimmune controls were identified using monoclonal antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence. In both responders and controls the infiltrate cons...
