Phenomena as diverse as tuberculin sensitivity, delayed sensitivity
to soluble proteins other than tuberculin, contact allergy,
homograft rejection, experimental autoallergies, and the response
to many microorganisms, have been classified as members of the
class of immune reactions known as delayed or cellular
hypersensitivity. Similarities in time course, histology, and
absence of detectable circulating immunoglobulins characterize
these cell-mediated immune reactions in vivo. The state of delayed
or cellular hypersensitivity can be transferred from one animal to
another by means of sensitized living lymphoid cells (CHASE, 1945;
LANDSTEINER and CHASE, 1942; MITCHISON, 1954). The responsible cell
has been described by GOWANS (1965) as a small lymphocyte. Passive
transfer has also been achieved in the human with extracts of
sensitized cells (LAWRENCE, 1959). The in vivo characteristic of
delayed hypersensitivity from which the class derives its name is
the delayed skin reaction. When an antigen is injected
intradermally into a previously immunized animal, the typical
delayed reaction begins to appear after 4 hours, reaches a peak at
24 hours, and fades after 48 hours. It is grossly characterized by
induration, erythyma, and occasionally necrosis. The histology of
the delayed reaction has been studied by numerous investigators
(COHEN et al. , 1967; GELL and HINDE, 1951; KOSUNEN, 1966; KOSUNEN
et al. , 1963; MCCLUSKEY et al. , 1963; WAKSMAN, 1960; WAKSMAN,
1962). Initially dilatation of the capillaries with exudation of
fluid and cells occurs.
