title: Cell mediated immune response following foot-and-mouth disease vaccination in buffalo calves.
abstract: The cell mediated immune (CMI) response was studied by E-rosette formation in vitro and delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) skin reaction in buffalo calves vaccinated with monovalent type 0 as well as with a polyvalent foot-and-mouth disease vaccine. Up to 35 days post-vaccination there was a significant increase (P less than 0.05) in the number of T-lymphocytes in both animal groups. Thereafter, the number of lymphocytes decreased. Delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) skin reaction was characterized by a significant increase in skin thickness; histology showed mononuclear infiltration and perivascular cuffing.
