The goal of the vaccination is to induce humoral (antibody) and intracellular (T lymphocyte) responses. Various data show that intradermal vaccination is more efficient than intramuscular vaccination: the humoral response is statistically better after intradermic vaccination, compared to intramuscular vaccination, even in target populations such as older subjects or immunosuppressed patients
Realisation of 2 groups of healthy subjects with 2 intradermal injection of 50 µl of tuberculin + 2 intradermal injection of 50 µl of physiological serum. 5 biopsy performed on 2 Tuberculin injection site, 2 physiological serum site and 1 on healthy skin site :
Determination of the best time (30 minutes, 4 hours or 72 hours)for intradermal vaccination caracteristics after group A and B data analysis. From these results, last group of immunosuppressed patients performed:Group C with 6 immunosuppressed patients (18 to 60 years old)
