Evaluation of Mycobacterium leprae immunogenicity via adoptive transfer studies.
The immune response of mice to live, heat-killed, or autoclaved Mycobacterium leprae was investigated. After sensitization with 10(7) organisms in each group, recipient mice were transfused with the sensitized splenocytes 28 days later. A selected number of these mice were infected with 5 X 10(3) M. leprae, and the remaining animals were sacrificed at scheduled intervals for evidence of cell-me...
متن کاملStability of Mycobacterium leprae and temperature optimum for growth.
Leprosy is a fascinating disease. It prcsents several unsolved problems and therefore offers a great challenge to the medical scientist. Dr. Binford. Thank you very much, Dr. Job, for this brief but compact story of the pathology of leprosy. We havc to apologizc for giving you such a large assignment for 20 minutes, but you accomplished it well and I am sure that those of the audience who have ...

متن کاملStructure of Mycobacterium leprae.
Introduction : why study structure? Information about the structure of M. leprae may be obtained by microscopy (especially electron miscroscopy) and other physical techniques . There is active development of such techniques , but at present the information they can give about structures as complex as a bac terium is l imited . To obtain a detailed knowledge of the molecular composition and con...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of Mycobacterium leprae unique antigens in leprosy endemic populations in Asia and Africa.
Ongoing transmission of leprosy is evident from the stable disease incidence in high burden areas. Tools for early detection of Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae) infection, particularly in sub-clinically infected individuals, are urgently required to reduce transmission. Following the sequencing of the M. leprae genome, many M. leprae-unique candidate proteins have been identified, several of wh...
