I tried complement fixation reaction on the serum of lepra patients using aqueous omulsion of lepra nodes and an alcohol extract as antigen with the following results:
1. In lepra ntberosa most patients showed positive, whereas in lepra nervosa and lepra maculosa most patients showed negative.
2. In positive cases there was a certain relation between the complement fixation data and their severity.
3. The results of the complement fixation reaction well corresponded to those o the Mitsuda reaction.
4. Those two antigens used in this complement fixaton reaction are considered to be of lipoid and not of protein.
