Lymphocytes from patients with active trichomoniasis showed a proliferative response when incubated in the presence of secretory and cellular products of either pathogenic or non-pathogenic Trichomonas vaginalis. Maximal responses were detected using 50 micrograms per ml protein after 5 days incubation. Lymphocytes from non-infected laboratory workers showed no response to these antigens. This indicates that delayed hypersensitivity reactions may act to modulate inflammatory responses in trichomoniasis.
活跃期滴虫病患者的淋巴细胞在与致病性或非致病性阴道毛滴虫的分泌产物及细胞产物共同孵育时，会呈现增殖反应。孵育5天后，使用每毫升50微克蛋白质可检测到最大反应。未感染的实验室工作人员的淋巴细胞对这些抗原无反应。这表明迟发型超敏反应可能在调节滴虫病的炎症反应中发挥作用。
