the first decade in experimental leprosy.considerable developments have occurred in the application of the method for growing mycobacterium leprae in the mouse foot-pad since it was first described about 10 years ago. the method has been used to study growth curves and histology in normal and in thymectomized irradiated mice, to identify supposed isolates of myco. leprae that have been made in tissue-culture or in non-living media, to evaluate tests of experimental vaccines, to investigate applications to clinical investigations (the l ...19714950564

oxidation of phenolic compounds by mycobacterium leprae and inhibition of phenolase by substrate analogues and copper chelators.experiments were conducted on the substrate specificity of phenoloxidase in mycobacterium leprae, by using various phenolic compounds. comparative studies were carried out with the enzyme from mammalian and plant sources. the phenolase of m. leprae was found to be similar to the enzyme of plant origin in oxidizing a variety of substrates; it was different from the mammalian enzyme, which has a limited substrate specificity. the findings confirmed that phenoloxidase is a specific property of m. l ...19684970222

effect of inhibitors on phenoloxidase of mycobacterium leprae.previous results had shown that the human leprosy bacilli possess a phenoloxidase, which, when compared with the enzyme from mammalian and plant sources, seemed unique in the range of substrates utilized and in the nature of the products formed. the effect of several inhibitors on the enzyme in mycobacterium leprae was tested. compounds which bind copper were found to be more effective than substrate analogues. diethyldithiocarbamate penetrated the bacillus and completely suppressed its phenolas ...19694982199

unusual effects of reducing agents on 0-diphenoloxidase of mycobacterium leprae.reducing agents had no effect on the oxidation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) to quinone by mycobacterium leprae; no quinone formation by o-diphenoloxidase of mammalian or plant origin was detected under similar experimental conditions. ascorbic acid and reduced glutathione prevented further oxidation and polymerization of the quinone to melanin by m. leprae; cysteine was less effective. in the presence of reducing agents, the quinone (indole-5,6-quinone) formed from dopa by m. leprae was ...19714999415

leprosy and genetics. a review of past research with remarks concerning future investigations.the few geneticists who are interested in leprosy have been working in this field only since 1962, and have made little progress in solving the problems presented by susceptibility to this disease.this paper reviews the research that has been conducted, with particular reference to the search for associations between leprosy and certain genetic markers. in each area, the advantages and limitations of different techniques are described, and attention is drawn to sources of bias that may invalidat ...19675301388
immunological aspects of leprosy with special reference to autoimmune diseases.leprosy, particularly lepromatous leprosy, is associated with a multitude of (auto) immune aberrations, and its clinical features also have much in common with the collagen diseases. immunopathological studies of the 2 groups of diseases may thus elucidate the basic mechanisms of both.the reported evidence for a genetically determined hyporeactivity of cell-mediated (cm) immunity in lepromatous subjects is reviewed; most, but not all, of the findings fit such a hypothesis well. the possibility r ...19695309531
studies towards the standardization of lepromin. progress and prospects.because of the wide range of concentrations of mycobacterium leprae in existing lepromins the authors studied methods of producing a standardizable lepromin containing 160 million bacilli/ml. the effects of using different dilutions of lepromin on the incidence of false-positive reactions were also studied.progress reported includes a convenient method for preparing large batches of non-sedimenting lepromin, which is directly suitable for microscopic counting of myco. leprae cells; and a validat ...19705311057
some recent laboratory findings on mycobacterium leprae. implications for the therapy, epidemiology and control of leprosy.from changes in the morphology and viability of mycobacterium leprae in infected mice, some authors have concluded that the majority of smear-positive human lepromatous patients become non-infectious within 3-4 months of the beginning of regular treatment with sulfones, even at dosages equivalent to only one-hundredth of the conventional daily dose-namely, 1 mg daily. these very low dosages have, however, not been advocated because of the risk that resistant strains of myco. leprae might develop ...19705313068
immunological problems in leprosy research. 1. clinical and pathological spectrum of leprosy.this paper discusses the evidence for and against the view that the spectrum of pathological changes in leprosy, extending from the lepromatous form to the tuberculoid form, may be caused by differences in the immune responses of patients. patients with the tuberculoid form of leprosy generally have well-developed specific cell-mediated immunity, but in a large proportion of patients with lepromatous leprosy the specific cell-mediated immunity to mycobacterium leprae and sometimes to other antig ...19705314019

(communicable disease center, atlanta, ga.). temperature optimum of mycobacterium leprae in mice. j. bacteriol. 90:1271-1275. 1965.-mycobacterium leprae multiplied most rapidly in foot pads of mice kept at an air temperature of 20 c. at air temperatures of 15 and 25 c, bacillary multiplication was slightly slower; at 10 and 30 c, distinctly slower; and at 4 and 35 c, no bacillary multiplication was detected. the temperature of the foot pad tissues of mice kept at an air tempe ...19655321481
