Since the demonstration of Mycobacterium leprae murium and its recognition as the causative agent of rat leprosy, this intracellular parasite has been an object of unusual interest in connection with the problem of human leprosy. Like the human leprosy bacillus, it has thus far defied all efforts at cultivation in vitro, whether in bacteriological media or in cell cultures. Many microbiologists have attempted to do artificial culture of Mycobacterium leprae. Hansen in 1872, after his finding of Mycobacterium leprae, was the first person to discover that this microorganism could cause an infectious disease in the human body. This was 10 years before the discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Koch. It is generally known that there are no any successful artificial culture methods of Mycobacterium leprae at the present time. In the 1940's, Hanks tried to cultivate the leprosy bacilli by means of the tissue culture method extensively and systemically but in 1950, according to his report, it was impossible to cultivate the Mycobacterium leprae. However, Chang at the National Institute of Health, U.S.A., attempted to culture Mycobacterium leprae murium with the tissue culture method without regarding the report of Hanks. In 1960, he reported the multiplication of Mycobacterium leprae murium in the peritoneal macrophages of mice. In 1963, Rees ¹«±â his associates reported that Mycobacterium leprae were cultured in the abroblasts of mice and rats. Japanese microbiologist Nakamura reported the multiplication of Mycobacterium leprae murium in the testicular fibroblasts in mice. To date, there is no validity of Chang's report, therefore we are trying to do similar experiments to test the validity of the contribution. At the same time attempts were made to cultivate Mycobacterium leprae murium and Mycobacterium leprae with various cell cultures of cold blooded animals. |
