CELL MEDIATED IMMUNITY INDUCED BY HELMINTH ALLERGEN OF GASTROINTESTINAL NEMATODE( ASCARIDIA GALLI) IN GALLUS DOMESTICUS

Abstract
Cell mediated immunity involve study of by antigen specific-T lymphocyte, B lymphocyte, monocytes, neutrophils,macrophages.(Dey N C et.al. 1996). Present study have been done against helminth allergen( A. galli-GI nematode) in sensitized and hypersensitized Gallus domesticus (after the 10th day of the primary sensitization) with the low dose and high doses of the embryonatd eggs of A. galli. T lymphocyte and B lymphocyte were identified according to size and density using standard technique. Monocytes, promotes growth of macrophages were found to be increased and neutrophils(PMN) act as accessory cell for T cell activation, were found to be decreased
