The origin, history, sensitivity to anti-leprosy drugs and genotypic characteristics for 27 strains maintained at the Leprosy Research Center in Tokyo are described. Strains are isolated and passaged in nude mouse footpads, and frozen bacillary suspensions with different generations are also maintained. The Leprosy Research Center provides bacillary materials as experimental resources at researchers' request.
本文描述了保存在东京麻风病研究中心的27株菌株的来源、历史、对抗麻风病药物的敏感性和基因型特征。这些菌株是从裸鼠脚垫中分离并传代培养的,同时还保存了不同代次的冷冻菌悬液。麻风病研究中心根据研究人员的请求提供细菌材料作为实验资源。
