Objective:To compare on the cellular immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB)after intragastric and subcutaneous immunization of BCG in mice.Methods:The proliferation of T-lymphocyte with the stimulus of the purified protein derivative(PPD) was measured at day 60 and 90 after intragastric and subcutaneous immunization of BCG in mice.The interleukin-2(IL-2) expression of T-lymphocyte in spleen was detected at day 60 and 90 after intragastric and subcutaneous immunization of BCG.Results:The ratio of T-lymphocyte proliferation was 31.30% and 37.90% respectively.The production of IL-2 was 37.47±5.60(U/ml) and 39.41±7.73(U/ml)respectively.There were no statistical significant differences in the cellular immunity between intragastric and subcutaneous routes( P >0.05).There were statistical significant differences in the cellular immunity between the immunization and no-immunization group( P <0.01).Conclusion:Intragastric and subcutaneous immunization of BCG can induce cellular immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in mice.
