AB - <p>3H-leucine uptake by macrophages from swiss white and C57BL mice before and after M. leprae infection was studied. 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>
