Study on immune response of goats vaccinated with a live strain of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis.
A study of the immune response of goats vaccinated with a live strain (316-F) of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis has been performed, taking into consideration both cellular and serological responses using a lymphocyte transformation assay (LTA) and a counterimmunoelectrophoresis test (CIET). The analyses made at three monthly intervals reveal an in vitro proliferative response of blood lymphocytes to specific antigen and lymphocytes T mitogen over a year of post-vaccination, but no humoral response was observed when CIET was used.
