QUESTION 3 The phenolic glycolipid 1 (PGL-1) in the outer membrane of M. leprae, the causative agent of leprosy, has been implicated in the invasion of host phagocytic cells. When the gene for PGL-1 is eliminated from the mycobacterium, infectivity is decreased. This is evidence that PGL-1 is a virulence factor for M. leprae. O True O False QUESTION 4 Adjuvants such as aluminum salts are used as additives in vaccines to enhance immune responses. @True O False
