The ability of leprous macrophages to accept cytophilic antibodies was not damaged. Blood macrophages derived from both types of leprosy formed rosettes with cytophilic antibody sensitized goat red cells. The rosette forming rates of tuberculoid (65.0%) and lepromatous macrophages (66.4%) were essentially the same as that of normal blood macrophages (68.8%).
