Cell mediated hypersensitivity:
Cell mediated hypersensitivity:
* Presently in the UK the animal is culled if it has a positive skin reaction.
* Presently in the UK the animal is culled if it has a positive skin reaction.
==From Pathology==
*Delayed hypersensitivity
*Haptens bind to carrier proteins (mainly epidermal)
*Mediated by sensitised [[T cell differentiation|T-cells]] -> release cytokines +/- recruit lymphocytes
*Used in diagnosis of tuberculosis, histoplasmosis and coccidiomycosis
*Perivascular mononuclear cell accumulation
