In Vitro Growth of Mycobacterium lepraemurium under the Influence of Macrophage Cultures

Elongation and limited multiplication of Mycobacterium lepraemurium was observed extracellularly when the bacilli spotted on a coverslip were placed face to face with cultures of mouse peritoneal macrophages adhering to the inside of a test tube held at an angle of 15°. There was no doubt that certa...

Summary:Elongation and limited multiplication of Mycobacterium lepraemurium was observed extracellularly when the bacilli spotted on a coverslip were placed face to face with cultures of mouse peritoneal macrophages adhering to the inside of a test tube held at an angle of 15°. There was no doubt that certain growth‐promoting but unstable factors were released from the macrophages.
