Sensitization and Antibody Formation with Increased Resistance to Tuberculous Infection Induced by Heat Killed Tubercle Bacilli
Rabbits (and human beings) differ widely in the rapidity with which they undergo sensitization with heat killed tubercle bacilli, but after repeated injections all animals become sensitized. Intracutaneous injection of a small quantity of heat killed tubercle bacilli into a previously normal animal produces a nodule which persists from 8 to 12 weeks; the same injection into well sensitized anim...
متن کاملClonal Immune Responses of Mycobacterium-Specific γδ T Cells in Tuberculous and Non-Tuberculous Tissues during M. tuberculosis Infection
BACKGROUND We previously demonstrated that unvaccinated macaques infected with large-dose M.tuberculosis(Mtb) exhibited delays for pulmonary trafficking of Ag-specific αβ and γδ T effector cells, and developed severe lung tuberculosis(TB) and "secondary" Mtb infection in remote organs such as liver and kidney. Despite delays in lungs, local immunity in remote organs may accumulate since progres...
