Lepromin反応に関する研究(第1報)

光田抗原とDharmendra抗原とによる反応の異同

抄録

As a prelude for the study on standardization of the lepromin reaction the authors made a comparative observation of the skin reactions produced by the Mitsuda or Dharmendra antigen in 3137 leprous patients.
Both the early and late reactions were read and a correlation between the Mitsuda and Dharmendra reactions was studied, then it was concluded that so far as the lepromin test is concerned both the antigens are the same in the antigenicity, and the possible antigenic material may be contained solely in leprosy bacilli.
