PPD stands for purified protein derivative and is a constituent of the Mantoux test used to test for ‘cellular immune responses to Mucobacterium bovis (Tuberculin bacillus), incurred either naturally or via BCG vaccine’ ( Immunisation Procedures, NHMRC, 1991, p.110). PPD is not strictly a vaccine but is used to see whether it is necessary to use a vaccine (WS 422).
