Abstract
The clinical manifestations and some studies about cell-mediated immunity (CMI) demonstrate a graduate response to M. leprae, from the Virchowian polar form, with a poor CMI response, to the Tuberculoid polar form, with exacerbated phenomena of CMI. The possibility of a genetic-controlled IMC response to M. leprae is reviewed. A hypothesis is suggested that the susceptibility to any type of hanseniasis is controlled by an operon linked to the K or D regions of the HLA system. This operon would act as a trigger to the heterosntigen-detecting fraction of the T cells receptors.
