This study demonstrated the utility of using 4% NaOH as a murine macrophage cell-solubilizing agent to discriminate between host macrophage metabolism and that of intracellular Mycobacterium leprae. A 4% concentration of NaOH had no deleterious effect on labeled mycobacteria. Thereby, alternate radiolabeled indicators of the metabolic activity of intracellular M. leprae could be experimented with. Significant incorporation of 14C-amino acid mixture, [14C]leucine, [14C]uridine, and carrier-free 32P was observed in cultures containing freshly extracted ("live") strains of M. leprae as compared with control cultures containing autoclaved bacilli.
