Serum protein components were examined with electrophoresis with 28 rats of serious, slight, unrevealedly infected and intact cases. The results showed that in both serious and slight cases of murine leprosy α-globulin and albumin level did not differ from those in intact rats. In each case, the size of leproma was not in proportion with α-globulin amount. Some differences were recognized among the results of measurement, but they were of no value from the statistical view.
These results enable us to understand that human and murine leprosy are quite different from each other in serum protein components, and supply us a standpoint for the study on α-globulin increase in lepra tuberosa.
