This study was done to compare the serum lipid-lipoprotein profiles of tuberculin-positive and tuberculin- 

 negative monkeys from the same colony in which an outbreak of tuberculosis had occurred. 



In 21 tuberculin-negative monkeys, a beta lipoprotein component was present in the scrum lipoprotein profile, 

 which was not detected in the sera of five tuberculin-positive monkeys. Serum triglyceride values were significantly 

 larger (l*<0.001) in the tuberculin-positive monkeys than in the tuberculin-negative animals. No differences were 

 observed in serum cholesterol or in serum phospholipid-phosphorus values of the two groups of monkeys.
