However, the late reaction to lepromin remained unchanged. The importance of the degree of sensitivity of the cell donor was demonstrated, and a booster dose was also found to be useful. The feasibility of using transfer factor in treatment of lepromatous leprosy is briefly discussed.</p>  a0253-2662
