Temporal relationship between tuberculin skin reactivity and in vitro mitotic response

Burton Zweiman
PMCID: PMC1409357  PMID: 6054731

Abstract

1. Albino guinea-pigs were actively sensitized with complete Freund's adjuvant.

2. Tuberculin skin reactivity and tuberculin-induced in vitro mitotic responsiveness of circulating lymphocytes were determined sequentially in each animal after sensitization.

3. In nine of ten animals studied, both skin reactivity and in vitro mitotic response to tuberculin appeared 3 weeks after sensitization.
