The Dharmendra antigen is a〔 test widely used in India. The antigen is a suspension of de-fatted leprosy bacilli which has been extracted with chloroform-ether and killed, either by heat, or by other effective methods. This antigen was first reported by Dharmendra in 1941-1942 and later standardized in 1979 by Sangupta et al. Dharmendra's Lepromin suspension consists of 10 mg of the dried and de-fatted, bacillary powder, dissolved in 100 ml carbol saline solution. It is an revised form of the original Lepromin test developed in 1919 by Mitsuda. The Dharmendra test allows to differentiate tuberculoid leprosy from lepromatous leprosy. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dharmendra antigen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
