| Research Abstract |
The present study has aimed at the antigen presentation and cytokine responses against mycobacterial glycolipids using the guinea pig. Guinea pigs were inoculated intradermally with M.bovis BCG. Mycobacterial lipids specific serum IgG antibody titer was measured by ELISA. BCG-infected guinea pigs had IgG responses against PPD and phosphatidylinositol mannoside (PIM). Proliferation of T cells specific for mycobacterial lipids was estimated by tritiated-thymidine uptake. In BCG-infected guinea pig, splenic T cells showed proliferative responses to PPD, PIM and trehalose 6,6'-dimicolate (TDM).
