Abstrakt: ADMINISTRATION of heterologous antilymphocytic serum (ALS) to mice enhances their susceptibility to experimental infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Myco. lepraemurium (rat “leprosy” bacillus)1. Here, I examine the ability of ALS to enhance the much more chronic Myco. leprae (human leprosy bacillus) infection in thymectomized mice.
