RESUMO
The ability of a killed phase I Coxiella burnetii vaccine to induce cell-mediated immune responses in guinea pigs was studied. Cell-mediated immune responses were assessed by the inhibition of macrophage migration and lymphocyte transformation assays. The macrophage migration response occurred rapidly and was detected at high levels, but was relatively short-lived. In contrast, the lymphocyte transformation response developed more slowly, and persisted for a longer period. The vaccine, given in a single dose or in two doses 1 week apart, protected guinea pigs from a subsequent virulent challenge.
