Soaps typically have the narrowest effective antimicrobial range among the listed compounds. They are primarily effective against certain bacteria and viruses but may not be as potent against a broader spectrum of pathogens compared to glutaraldehyde or alcohols like 70% isopropanol.

A classic example of delayed type IV hypersensitivity is the Mantoux tuberculin test in which skin induration indicates exposure to tuberculosis.

This reaction is called "delayed hypersensitivity" because it is mediated by sensitized CD4+ T lymphocytes which process antigens in association with class II HLA molecules and release lymphokines.
The lymphokines promote a reaction (especially mediated through macrophages) beginning in hours but reaching a peak in 2 to 3 days.

Hypersensitivity reactions with this mode of action include:

 



Granulomatous diseases (mycobacteria, fungi)


Tuberculin skin reactions


Transplant rejection


Contact dermatitis



Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) mediated responses: CD8+ T cells are generated and lyse specific cells. Class I HLA molecules play a role. Reactions with this mode include:



Neoplastic cell lysis


Transplant rejection


Virus-infected cell lysis
