Dharmendra antigen with different bacterial counts (16, 12.5, 10, 7.5, 5 and 2.5 million/ml) have been utilized for determination of skin delayed hypersensitivity in leprosy patients. It has been noted that antigen with 10 million acid fast bacilli (AFB)/ml mounts a standard early (24 hrs) as well as late (3 weeks) reaction in patients. Lepromatous patients do not show any skin reaction with this dilution. Thus, a standard Dharmendra antigen has been prepared using a considerably smaller number of organisms as compared to the International standards for Mitsuda antigen.
已使用不同细菌计数（16、12.5、10、7.5、5和250万/ml）的达曼德拉抗原测定麻风病患者的皮肤迟发型超敏反应。已经注意到，每毫升含1000万个抗酸杆菌（AFB）的抗原在患者中引发标准的早期（24小时）以及晚期（3周）反应。瘤型麻风患者对这种稀释度不表现出任何皮肤反应。因此，与国际标准的光田抗原相比，已使用数量少得多的生物体制备了标准的达曼德拉抗原。
