Popis: The effect of tuftsin was studied in vivo using CBA mice infected with M. leprae by Shepard's technique and in vitro using macrophage-like cell line P. 388 (Co-cultivated with M. leprae) and the cultivated leproma tissue. It was found out that tuftsin acted as a stimulator of M. leprae multiplication in foot-pads of mice and as a prolongator of M. leprae survival in the cells of macrophage-like cell line P .388. It is concluded that using tuftsin might be useful in view of studying different aspects of experimental leprosy.
