Raffel S, Ferraresi RW: Delayed hypersensitivity in relation to suppression of growth of Listeria monocytogenes by guinea pig macrophages.
Prototypes of delayed hypersensitivity (tuberculin allergy, graft rejection immunity, and contact dermatitis) were established in guinea pigs. The macrophages from peritoneal exudates of such animals were examined for their capacities to suppress the growth of Listeria monocytogenes in vitro. Only the macrophages from animals sensitized to BCG clearly exhibited this property.
