Effect of Antimacrophage Serum on Dermal Tuberculin Sensitivity and Allergic Pulmonary Granuloma Formation in Rabbits
1970
Anti-rabbit alveolar macrophage goat serum (AMS), adsorbed of hemolysins and hemagglutinins, exhibited complement-dependent cytotoxicity for the following rabbit target cells: alveolar macrophages, thymocytes, and kidney (RK-13) cells. The intravenous injection of AMS, sufficient to reduce markedly the dermal tuberculin reaction in BCG-sensitized rabbits, did not suppress the development of BCG-induced chronic and accelerated pulmonary granulomas. These observations are discussed in relation to delayed sensitivity, allergic granuloma formation, and cell-associated immunity.
