Abstract

A Listeria monocytogenes infection in guinea pigs was used to study the interrelationship between antigen-induced macrophage migration inhibition, delayed-type hypersensitivity, and acquired cellular resistance. Early after infection (at 2 and 7 days), very significant enhancement of macrophage migration was observed. Migration inhibition was detected beginning on day 14 and was uniformly observed only on day 21 of the infection, after which a shift again to enhancement was seen. The early detection (by day 2) of migration enhancement suggested that this assay may be more sensitive than assessment of delayed type hypersensitivity in vivo, which in this system was first detectable only on day 4. Acquired cellular resistance, as measured by enhanced survival following a high dose challenge with Listeria, was present from day 7 after infection until at least day 60. By splenic clearance studies, however, acquired cellular resistance was present only until day 14 after infection, suggesting that in this system splenic clearance was not a very reliable criterion for measuring acquired cellular resistance.
