Abstract

Sheep experimentally re-infected with orf virus developed an accelerated skin reaction and exhibited a cell mediated immune (CMl) response as determined by leucocyte migration inhibition (LMI) tests and lymphocyte transformation (LT) tests. The CMI response was detected day 4 post scarification using the direct LMI tests. It persisted through day 63 with maxim response occurring 15 days post challenge. Measurement of CMI in the re­ infected sheep by LT, however was evident on the fifth day and lasted 42 days post challenge
