Answer to Question 1

The test is based on the presence or absence of delayed hypersensitivity reaction to proteins of the TB bacilli. Previous exposure or infection will lead to an inflammatory reaction at site of injection. Prior exposure has led to the development of a cell-mediated immunity and associated hypersensitivity to tubercle bacilli.
