Abstract
Cellular response to intradermally administered PPD (2 TU) was demonstrated in pig foetuses of various ages and in germ-free piglets. CD2+, CD4+, CD8-, 86D-, SLA-D- T lymphocytes were the predominant cells in the skin tuberculin reaction in both foetuses and germ-free animals. Reactive T cells were observed as early as in mid-gestation, whereas SLA-D+ (porcine MHC class II) cells appeared only in older foetuses. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes were never observed in the PPD reaction.Entities:
