L-Lysate induced macrophage membrane alteration was studied using 3 membrane markers: (i) Fc receptor, (ii) Concanavalin A (Con A) receptor, and (iii) M. leprae adherence to macrophage membrane. The data indicate that L-lysate induces membrane perturbation of normal macrophages. The alteration can be reversed with trypsin and colchicine. Membrane alteration observed may lead to defective macrophage participation in a cell-mediated immune reaction.
