| Abstract: | Guinea-pigs were immunized with Mycobacterium leprae in saline and with autoclaved preparations of Mycobacterium w., ICRC bacillus, Mycobacterium phlei and Mycobacterium vaccae. A group of animals were also immunized with live Mycobacterium w. All animals were challenged after one month of M. leprae and other mycobacteria. Induration produced in response in guine-pigs to challenge with homologous mycobacterial preparations and M. leprae. In most cases, the early reaction was higher with homologous antigens as compared to M. leprae antigens were however of comparable order especially in animals immunized with Mycobacterium w, and ICRC bacillus. Animals immunized with M. leprae gave low late reactions with preparations from Mycobacterium phlei and Mycobacterium vaccae.(AU).
