ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Hamsters inoculated with BCG become responsive to dead Mycobacterium leprae. The response is characerized by a typical perineural granulomatous reaction, observed 16 days after the injection of a suspension of dead M. leprae into the foot pad of animals previously sensitized with BCG
