applied to all animals at 12 <strong>and</strong> 24 months postvaccination. IFN<br />

production of cell cultures stimulated with bovine PPD showed<br />

significant increase (1.4, 0.90, 1.4 OD) at days 15, 90 <strong>and</strong> 180<br />

postvaccination, in the group innoculated with EFPC. In the group<br />

vaccinated with BCG the increase was observed at 60 <strong>and</strong> 150 days<br />

postvaccination (0.90, 1.7 OD) while the control group showed<br />

increment at day 90 (1.35 OD). Animals from the three groups<br />

showed an increse (1.4 OD) at day 60 when stimulated with avian<br />

PPD. Stimulation with ESAT 6 did not give a clear response in any<br />

of the groups. With respect to the humoral response, all groups<br />

showed an increase in OD at day 90 but was significantly higher<br />
