Normal and immunosuppressed mice were inoculated with Mycobacterium leprae obtained from untreated lepromatous patients. Besides monitoring the AFB counts in the footpads at 3,6 and 9 months post inoculation, antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) function was studied. The ADCC function seen to be largely unaltered in the M. leprae infected animals, comparable to the observation made in human leprosy.
将取自未经治疗的瘤型麻风病人的麻风分枝杆菌接种于正常和免疫抑制小鼠。除了监测接种后3个月、6个月和9个月时足垫中的抗酸杆菌数量外，还研究了抗体依赖性细胞毒性（ADCC）功能。在感染麻风杆菌的动物中观察到ADCC功能基本未改变，这与人类麻风病中的观察结果相似。
