| lack of protection afforded by ribonucleic acid preparations from mycobacterium tuberculosis against mycobacterium leprae infections in mice. | mycobacterial ribonucleic acid preparations from h37ra, an attenuated strain of mycobacterium tuberculosis, provide their usual marked protection against m. tuberculosis challenge; however, they provided no protection against mycobacterium leprae challenge. suspensions of intact h37ra were not effective against m. leprae. suspensions of bcg gave their usual distinct protection against m. leprae challenge. | 1977 | 404242 |
| metabolic role of free mycolic acids in mycobacterium tuberculosis. | small amounts of free mycolic acids and trehalose dimycolate that are rapidly formed by mycobacterium tuberculosis h37ra are probably derived from mycolyl acetyl trehalose and transferred to the cell wall. however, the transfer of mycolic acids from mycolyl acetyl trehalose to the cell wall still appears to be the more prominent route. | 1977 | 404289 |
