Abstract:
Objective To study the location of mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB) and whether the cellular immunity is induced after immunization of H37Ra in mice.Methods Totally 72 BALB/C mice were included.Thirty mice were intracutaneously injected of 0.1 ml H37Ra solution(about 10~(6) bacteria) at caudal region;thirty mice were injected of BCG of same quantity instead;twelve were free from immunization as control.Viable MTB were detected in spleen and lungs on day 15,30 and 60 after intracutaneous vaccination of H37Ra.The proliferation of T lymphocytes stimulated with purified protein derivative(PPD) was measured by MTT assay and the production of interleukin-2(IL-2) and soluble interleukin-2 receptor(sIL-2R) in the cultural supernatants of T lymphocytes was also determined by ELISA on day 30 and 60 after intracutaneous vaccination of H37Ra.Results Viable H37Ra or BCG could be located in the spleen and lungs in mice for at least 60 d.After H37Ra immunization,the stimulation index(SI) of T lymphocyte proliferation on day 30 and 60 was(2.81?0.63),(2.16?0.52) respectively,which was of no significant difference with that of BCG immunization,but of significant difference with that of non-immunized mice(P
