A depression in 3H-leucine uptake after infection was observed only in swiss white mice. 3H-leucine uptake was also studied in blood derived macrophages from normals, and LL and TT patients. A depression was obtained in 3H-leucine uptake after M. leprae infection in macrophages from LL patients.</p>  a0024-1024
