ABSTRACT
Peritoneal macrophages from mice immunized with the delipidified cell component (DCC) of Mycobacterium leprae showed changes in various parameters such as increased protein synthesis, levels of hydrolytic enzyme and augmented phagocytic ability indicating activation of the cells. Furthermore, the surface structure of the cells were quite different from that of the macrophages of normal mice. These observations indicate that the peritoneal macrophages have been activated to phagocytose and kill M. leprae better in the immunized mice. The ability to kill the pathogen by these cells was reported by us earlier.
