Naturally susceptible mice (C57BL/6) infected withM. avium(strain Weybridge) developed a population of splenic T cells which, on transfer to syngeneic recipient mice, conferred significant protection against a subsequent challenge inoculum ofM. avium. Similar T cells from naturally resistant mice (A/J) did not protect syngeneic recipient mice. Growth ofM. aviumin donor mice only occurred in the C57BL/6 strain. Replication ofM. aviumin donor mice was necessary for the development of protective T cells. High numbers of killed mycobacterium did not induce immune T cells. In addition. A/J mice inoculated with increasing numbers of viableM. avium(which still did not replicate) failed to develop protective T lymphocytes. Further studies indicated that no protective T cells were present in theM. avium‐infected A/J mouse, although evidence for non‐specific immunity in these mice was obtained. In addition, BCG (which grows progressively in A/J mice) stimulated a population of splenic T cells which protected recipient mice from subsequent infection withM. tuberculosis.
