    Summary

    Adult mice thymectomized 12 months prior showed disseminated BCG infection and suppressed delayed-type hypersensitivity. Sham-operated controls developed normal vaccine responses, indicating thymectomy

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Microbiology

    Context:

    • Thymectomy impacts adaptive immunity.
    • BCG infection models are crucial for vaccine research.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the long-term effects of thymectomy on BCG infection and immune response.

    Summary:

    • Adult CBA mice, thymectomized 12 months prior and intravenously injected with Mycobacterium bovis BCG, succumbed to disseminated infection.
    • These thymectomized mice exhibited suppressed delayed-type hypersensitivity.
    • Control animals undergoing sham operations developed typical vaccine responses.

    Impact:

    • Thymectomy impairs the immune system's ability to control BCG infection long-term.
    • This highlights the critical role of the thymus in maintaining robust cell-mediated immunity against mycobacterial challenges.
