SUMMARYLeprosy is best understood as two conjoined diseases. The first is a chronic mycobacterial infection that elicits an extraordinary range of cellular immune responses in humans. The second is a peripheral neuropathy that is initiated by the inf

The macrophage is a major component of the inflammatory response induced by lymphatic tissue-dwelling filariae. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) infections with Brugia pahangi in Mongolian gerbils, or jirds ( Meriones unguiculatus ), induce a peritoneal inflam

Because of the limited chemotherapeutic approaches available to treat reactivated latent Toxoplasma gondii infection manifested as toxoplasmic encephalitis in AIDS patients, investigation of novel chemotherapeutic agents is warranted. Several poloxam

IFN-gamma is an important mediator of cellular resistance against microbial pathogens and tumor cells due in part to its potent capacity to activate macrophages for enhanced cytotoxicity. The present study demonstrates that TNF-alpha regulates the ex

Recent studies show the importance of a single amino acid, L-arginine, as a necessary substrate for activated macrophage-mediated cytotoxic activity for tumor target cells and microbiostatic function for Cryptococcus neoformans. The present studies w

Mycobacterium leprae remain a rare research resource. They cannot be cultivated on artificial media, and the only established means to quantify viability of M. leprae has been by its relative growth in the foot pads of conventional mice (MFP). The MF

In Brazil, there is little information about the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of paucibacillary, single skin lesion leprosy patients (SSL-PB). Only recently has the official notification system distinguished leprosy patients with a si

Mycobacterium leprae is uncultivable on artificial medium, but viability can be maintained without multiplication for a limited time in vitro. In this study, we evaluated gamma-irradiation (gamma-irr) as a means to kill this slowly growing organism.

Because of the similarities in causative agents of Hansen's disease and tuberculosis, Hansen's disease research is now being used in the identification, treatment, and prevention of tuberculosis. Numerous studies are under way to screen and develop n
