The resistance developed by mice during infection with Listeria monocytogenes, Brucella abortus, or Mycobacterium tuberculosis is not specifically directed against the infecting organism. The processes involved in the induction of acquired resistance, however, are highly specific and seem to depend upon two factors: a state of immunological reactivity of the host and the presence of the specific microbial antigens to which the host has become reactive. When these two coexist in the tissues the… Expand
