  title = {Utility of beige mouse in leprosy research.},
  abstract = {<p>Dissemination of M. leprae to visceral organs is seen by four months onwards only in beige (C57BL/6/bgj) but not BALB/c mice following intravenous or intraperitoneal infections. Inoculation of the beige mouse derived M. leprae showed all the characteristics of M. leprae, including growth pattern in the foot-pads of BALB/c mice. M. leprae inoculated into foot-pads of beige mice multiplied faster than those in the foot-pads of BALB/c mice. The possibility of using beige mouse in chemotherapeutic studies in leprosy is discussed.</p>},
