Abstract：
:In general, the majority of bacteria are pre-inflammatory when injected in experimental animals. However, Mycobacterium leprae has no inflammatory effect when injected into mouse footpad, but using the delipidated mycobacteria we observed a mild significant increase in footpad oedema. Other mycobacteria, Mycobacterium bovis-BCG or M. tuberculosis induce a strong paw oedema. Furthermore, M. leprae reduced locally the BCG-induced inflammatory reaction in mouse footpad, whereas delipidated M. leprae did not influence this reaction. Both M. leprae and M. leprae cell wall lipids blocked immune phagocytosis in vivo by inflammatory macrophages (from an induced focus). In contrast delipidated M. leprae stimulated the phagocytosis reaction. Neither intact M. leprae. delipidated M. leprae, nor its lipids had any toxic effect on macrophages or on cell migration. Although M. leprae did not interfere on cell influx and cell type in an induced-inflammatory site, this mycobacterium led to the appearance of a distinct cell population in vivo. The hypothesis is that M. leprae would transform macrophages in epithelioid cells, suggested by morphology analysis of cells by fluorescence-activated cell sorter and observed under optic microscopy.
