Part 2 of this Memorandum covers possible mechanisms of altered immune response in leprosy (including a tentative scheme to explain the possible genesis of the lepromatous lesion); genetic, nutritional, and hormonal factors; the possibility of vaccination; attempts at immunotherapy; and areas in which further research is needed. A detailed protocol for evaluating the effect of transfer factor in leprosy is included as an annex.
