Experimental mycetoma-like lesions developed in guinea pigs after subcutaneous injection of Nocardia asteroides. Although delayed hypersensitivity appeared earlier, increased macrophage migration inhibition and microbicidal activity appeared after 7 weeks. When the lesions healed, high cell-mediated immunity was present. Cell-mediated immunity was transferred to normal recipient guinea pigs from healed donor guinea pigs by spleen cell transfer. Recipient guinea pigs showed marked protection against challenge with N. asteroides.
在豚鼠皮下注射星形诺卡菌后出现了实验性足菌肿样病变。虽然迟发型超敏反应出现得更早,但巨噬细胞移动抑制增加和杀菌活性在7周后出现。当病变愈合时,存在高细胞介导免疫。通过脾细胞转移,细胞介导免疫从愈合的供体豚鼠转移到正常受体豚鼠。受体豚鼠对星形诺卡菌攻击表现出显著的保护作用。
