An early stage of plaque-associated inflammatory periodontal disease in humans and in some animals exhibits features characteristic of a delayed hypersensitivity reaction. This lesion appears about one week following the beginning of plaque accumulation and it precedes the formation of a plasma cell infiltrate. The experiments described were direct toward learning whether or not cell-mediated hypersensitivity is a significant component of the early stage of the disease. Fisher 344 rats and Rhesus monkeys were sensitized using dinitrofluorobenzene and challenged subsequently at the gingival sulcus. Lesions exhibiting features characteristic of the early plaque-induced lesion appeared in both species within 48 to 72 hours following challenge. These features included vasculitis, a dense mononuclear cell infiltrate and destruction of connective tissue constituents. The lesion did not appear in challenged non-sensitized control animals. In order to learn whether cell mediated or humoral hypersensitivity was responsible for the lesion, transfer experiments were done in rats. Typical lesions were induced by challenge of non-sensitized animals previously given an intraperitoneal injection of 5 X 107 spleen cells from sensitized animals, but lesions could not be induced in animals given serum from sensitized rats.
