Abstract
Some experimentions were made to accelerate the development of murine leprosy in a white mouse, while others were made to raise the perceptivity of Mycobacterium leprae to a mouse. The results obtained are as follows:
1) Eosin, erythrosin, when applied to the inoculated region greatly accelerated the development of murine leprosy while haematoporphyrin, fluorescein and bergamot oil did not show this reaciton.
2) The inoculation of Mycobacterium leprae murium added with cow sub-maxplary gland Mucin accelelerated the symptom to develope.
3) The joint inoculation of non-pathogenic acid fast agents (No. 421) to a mouse accelerated the symptom to develope.
4) The inoculation of Mycobaoterium leprae, egg yolk and non-pathogenic agents (No. 421) to a mouse stimulated the growth of lepra abnormality to a small extent. However tnis reaction could not be transmitted through generations.
