Immune responses in tuberculosis: antibodies and CD4-CD8 lymphocytes with vascular adhesion molecules and cytokines (chemokines) cause a rapid antigen-specific cell infiltration at sites of bacillus Calmette-Guérin reinfection

Abstract

Rabbit primary dermal bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) lesions were compared with reinfection BCG lesions in order to gain insight into how immune responses protect against clinical tuberculosis. As early as 3 hr, a marked infiltration of macrophages and lymphocytes occurred in the reinfection group, while very little cell infiltration occurred in the primary group. It seems that only an antigen-antibody reaction could produce such an immediate pronounced antigen-specific chemotactic effect, because very few lymphocytes are normally present in the skin. Therefore, antibodies hasten the accumulation of an expanded antigen-specific T-lymphocyte population (memory cells) at sites of bacillary lodgement. By 1-2 days, the primary and reinfection BCG lesions differed 400- to 500-fold in size. By 4-5 days, the size of the reinfection lesions had declined, while the size of the primary lesions had increased, so that, grossly, both types of lesion were similar. At 8 days in reinfection lesions and at 12 days in primary lesions, small secondary peaks in size occurred, which were probably caused by cell-mediated immune responses. In rabbits with primary BCG lesions, skin tests with Old Tuberculin were positive at 9 days, accompanied by a ri...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
