Cell-mediated hypersensitivity in pigeon breeders

J N Fink, V L Moore, J J Barboriak

    International Archives of Allergy and Applied Immunology
    |January 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Symptomatic pigeon breeders show higher cell-mediated hypersensitivity to pigeon antigens than asymptomatic ones. This suggests cellular mechanisms are key in pigeon breeder's disease development.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Pulmonary Medicine

    Background:

    • Pigeon breeder's disease is an immune disorder.
    • Cell-mediated hypersensitivity may play a role.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare cell-mediated hypersensitivity in symptomatic and asymptomatic pigeon breeders.
    • To investigate pigeon antigens' role in hypersensitivity.

    Main Methods:

    • Indirect migration inhibition test used.
    • Pigeon antigens administered to participants.

    Main Results:

    • Cell-mediated hypersensitivity detected in 6/8 symptomatic breeders.
    • Only 2/12 asymptomatic breeders showed hypersensitivity.

    Conclusions:

    • Cellular mechanisms are likely involved in pigeon breeder's disease.
    • Hypersensitivity differs between symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals.
