Cytotoxic T cells are consistently produced in normal individuals after in vitro stimulation by a pool of mitomycin-treated normal lymphocytes. Patients suffering from lepromatous leprosy (LL), presenting with large amounts of Mycobacterium leprae and without a history of erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) are unable to generate such cytotoxic T cells, while lepromatous patients with ENL which, in the present study were all deprived of M. leprae, react normally.
在体外经丝裂霉素处理的正常淋巴细胞池刺激后,正常个体中持续产生细胞毒性T细胞。患有瘤型麻风(LL)的患者,体内存在大量麻风分枝杆菌且无麻风结节性红斑(ENL)病史,无法产生此类细胞毒性T细胞,而在本研究中所有麻风杆菌均已清除的有ENL的瘤型患者则反应正常。
