was shown to possess a superficial network of filaments fundamentally identical with the adjuvant active peptido-glycolipid filaments present on all other mycobacteria, and in biologically active wax D derived from and related organisms. Differences between the filaments seen on recovered from human lepromatous tissue and those demonstrated on mycobacteria grown in artificial culture are attributed to the effect of prolonged intracellular existence in a host phagocyte and are given as evidence of sensitivity of peptido-glycolipid to the action of intracellular enzymes.
结果表明，它具有一个表面丝状网络，与所有其他分枝杆菌上存在的佐剂活性肽糖脂丝以及从相关生物体衍生的具有生物活性的蜡D中的丝状网络基本相同。从人类麻风组织中分离出的[具体分枝杆菌名称未给出]上观察到的丝与在人工培养中生长的分枝杆菌上显示的丝之间的差异，归因于在宿主吞噬细胞中长时间细胞内存活的影响，并作为肽糖脂对细胞内酶作用敏感性的证据。
