Cell-Mediated Immunity after Bacterial Infection of the Lower Respiratory Tract

Abstract

Lower respiratory tract and systemic cell-mediated immunity have been studied in rabbits after infection with Listeria monocytogenes or Diplococcus pneumoniae. Respiratory tract cell-mediated immunity was evaluated by direct and indirect assays of migration inhibitory factor (MIF) production. Systemic delayed hypersensitivity was determined by means of intradermal testing with appropriate antigens.
