ABSTRACT
I. A method of preparing standard lepromin dried and partly defatted leprosy bacilli is described. The bacilli are obtained by extracting the nodules with chloroform, evaporating the chloroform extract, suspending the resudue in ether and centrifugalising the ethereal suspension in cold. The standardisation is done by weight of the bacterial powder, I mg. of the powder being suspended in 10 c.c. of carbol-saline, and 0.1 c.c. of suspension being used for the test 2. This preparation, like the ordinary lepromin prepared directly form the leprous tissue, produces both early and late reactions in the cases of the neural type of leprosy and no reactions, early or late in case of the lepromatous Type. However, with this preparation the early reactions are stronger, and the late reactions considerably weaker than corresponding, reactions pruduced by ordinary lepromin. This is considered to be an advantage
