ABSTRACT
An acid-fast microorganism has been isolated from four cases of human lepromatous leprosy in a tissue culture system consisting of the SPG fibrocytic cell line derived from human fetal spinal ganglia. The organisms, designated the "ICRC bacillus", can be grown and maintained in the conditioned fluid of the stock cells. It can become adapted to solid bacteriologic media after about six months maintenance in the modified fluid. The in vitro behavior of this organism has been studied in detail. Growth characteristics, growth pattern, growth rate and bacteriologic studies are reported and discussed in the light of relevant literature.
