چکیده
Much has been done, but there is still much to be accomplished in the matter of tests for infection and immunity in leprosy. To be of help to the clinicians it is not sufficient for a test to be positive among the inmates of a leper asylum; it is necessary that it should work also in free surroundings where are met the doubtful cases, toward the' detection of which the greatest vigilance should be exerted. Since 1926 we have devoted our efforts to obtain a serological reaction which (1) would help in the diagnosis of incipient leprosy; and which (2) as a further help in judging the value of treatment, would give information as to the patient's state of immunity. If the first part of the problem seems to have been nearly solved, the second part deserves a little more consideration.

The prolonged extraction of the tubercle bacillus with boiling ethyl alcohol, followed by one or more reprecipitations by chilling the hot alcoholic solution, easily yields a preparation very active as antigen in the complement fixation reaction. This preparation gives a precipitation reaction with high dilution of the normal blood serum of a number of species. The precipitation reaction presen...

The complement-fixation reaction with gonococcal antigen (gonococcal complement-fixation test: GCFI) is based on the same serological principle, and has been known for about as long, as the Wassermann reaction. Up to the 1940's the GCFT was widely employed, but as improvements in cultivation techniques for gonococci were developed, interest in the complement-fixation reaction diminished. At pre...
