ABSTRACT
Serum protein pattern was studied in the leprosy spectrum, their contacts and in normal individuals by employing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Sera from 80% of untreated BL/LL, 70% of untreated TT/BT patients and 67% of contacts have shown dysproteinaemia either for 232 kD or for 175 kD or for both these proteins together. Tendency of these proteins to return to normal levels was observed after treatment. But both these proteins come back to normal levels only after subsidence of the disease.
