During an experiment on the pathogenicity of mycobactin-dependent mycobacteria strains for calf, the kinetics of antibody formation during infection was studied. The progress of cellular immunity was followed by examining delayed hypersensitivity using four allergens (bovine tuberculin HCSM, avian tuberculin HCSM, avian tuberculin PPD, and johnin PPD), and that of humoral immunity using complement fixation test and ELISA. Simultaneously, the elimination of bacilli in the faeces was examined. The excretion of bacilli, although intermittent, appeared to be the most demonstrative proof of infection: it could be shown at any stage of the disease. On the contrary, the delayed hypersensitivity using the avian tuberculin, and the serologic tests (the complement fixation test and ELISA), were positive only at defined periods of the disease: hypersensitivity reactions developed earlier than humoral reactions. The results obtained during these experiments confirmed that the mycobactin-dependent strains of "wood-pigeon" mycobacteria caused a disease in calves similar to the disease caused by Mycobacterium paratuberculosis.
