title: [The formation of delayed hypersensitivity to mycobacterial antigens].
abstract: In experiments on guinea pigs and BALB/c mice delayed hypersensitivity to mycobacterial antigens was induced by the sensitization of the animals with live BCG or killed Mycobacterium bovis or M. avium in incomplete Freund's adjuvant. In the study of the dynamics of the development of skin reactivity to tuberculin some advantages of the sensitization of guinea pigs with live mycobacteria were revealed, while after the revaccination of the animals no development of secondary cell-mediated immune response was observed. The immunization of guinea pigs with atypical mycobacteria prior to their sensitization with BCG was found to lead to the development of higher skin reactivity to allergen prepared from atypical mycobacteria than skin reactivity to tuberculin.
