Title:Comparative study of anti-PGL-1, anti-35 kDa and anti-lipoarabinomannan assays for serodiagnosis of leprosy ..-
Source:s.l; s.n; 2001. 9 p. tab.
Abstract:Three antibody assays (anti-PGL-1, anti-35 kDa and anti-LAM) were used to determine the levels of antibodies in the sera of untreated leprosy patients. All the three assays showed higher levels of antibodies in BL/LL patients as compared to I and TT/BT patients, as well as healthy controls. BL/LL patients showed positivity of 100 per cent, 84.2 per cent and 78.9 per cent by anti-PGL-1, anti-35 kDa and anti-LAM assays respectively. All the three assays were negative for leprosy in healthy controls. Anti-PGL-1 assay was positive in 20 per cent of TT/BT patients and 17.9 per cent of I patients. Anti-35 kDa assay was negative in all the TT/BT patients and positive in 7.14 per cent of I patients. Anti-LAM assay was positive in 13.3 per cent of TT/BT patients and in 10.7 per cent of I patients. Hence, while these assays are valuable in diagnosing BL/LL patients, their usefulness in diagnosing I, BT or TT leprosy is limited. (AU).

Title:Determinación de anticuerpos anti-glicolípido fenólico I en población general de un área endémica de lepra.
Source:Fontilles - Revista de Leprología;18(6):587-597, Sep.-Dic. 1992. tab, graf.
Abstract:Se estudiaron los niveles de anticuerpos anti-glicolípido fenólico I mediante ensayo inmunoenzimático por el Sistema Ultra Micro Analítico (SUMA), desarrolado en Cuba, en 26806 personas de la población general del municipio de Guantánamo, Cuba. En este municipio las tasas de prevalencia y de detección de casos de lepra fueron 5 y 4 veces mayores respectivamente que las del país en el año del estudio (1988). El 82'6 por ciento de los individuos mostraron valores por debajo del nivel de corte estabelecido, observándose entre los "seropositivos" una disminución de la frecuencia de acuerdo al aumento de la edad y una elevación en el sexo femenino. Se pudo precisar que 828 individuos "seropositivos" tenían contacto conocido con enfermos de lepra y que entre los que presentaron los valores más altos, la proporción de intradomiciliarios fue significativamente mayor que la de los extradomiciliares, lo que podría estar asociado con una exposición más intensa al M. leprae y con el reconocido mayor riego de enfermar que presentan los primeros. El examen de los "seropositivos" ha conducido, hasta el momento de la redación de este trabajo, al diagnóstico de 12 casos nuevos de lepra, de los cuales en 7 se comprobó la presencia de bacilos ácido-alcohol resistentes en la baciloscopía, por lo que constituían fuentes de infección en la comunidad.

Title:Generation and characterization of monoclonal antibodies to the phenolic glycolipid of Mycobacterium leprae ..-
Source:s.l; s.n; jan. 1984. 6 p. ilus, tab, graf.
Abstract:Nine cloned cell lines producing antibodies to the unique phenolic glycolipid of Mycobacterium leprae have been established as a result of fusions with spleens from mice immunized with the glycolipid complexed with methylated bovine serum albumin. One of the antibodies was relatively nonspecific, binding to a related glycolipid from Mycobacterium kansasii, but the remaining antibodies were specific for the M. leprae lipid. Some of the antibodies required the intact (trisaccharide) carbohydrate portion for recognition of the glycolipid antigen, whereas others recognized partially hydrolyzed forms lacking one or two sugar residues. Monoclonal antibodies directed at the terminal saccharide of the glycolipid showed the greatest specificity for M. leprae in enzyme-linked immunoassays. These antibodies brightly labeled whole mycobacteria in indirect immunofluorescence experiments, demonstrating the surface location of M. leprae-specific determinants of the glycolipid antigen. In addition to their use in providing information about the antigenic properties of the phenolic glycolipid, these antibodies have potential applications for elucidating the roles of glycolipid in the pathogenesis of leprosy.(AU).

Title:IgM immunoglobulins reacting with the phenolic glycolipid-1 antigen from Mycobacterium leprae in sera of leprosy patients and their contacts ..-
Source:s.l; s.n; Apr.-Jun. 1990. 4 p. tab.
Abstract:For the first time in Brazil it was investigated the occurrence of IgM anti-PGL-1 in the sera of household contacts of leprosy patients using the ELISA methodology. The sera of the multibacillary patients showed significantly more immuno-reactivity than from the paucibacillary patients. It was observed a high subclinical infection incidence among household contacts (19.4%). The percentage of leprosy development was 5% (1/21) among the seropositive contact group. This finding suggests that serology could be useful as prognostic test, but for better definition is necessary to test a population from endemic area for long period time.(AU).

Title:Avaliação do glicolipídio fenólico (PGL-I) no diagnóstico da hanseníase ?-
Source:Londrina; s.n; 1996. xvi,98 p. ilus, tab, graf.
Thesis:Present for Universidade Estadual de Londrina presented for the degree Mestre.
Abstract:Foi realizada uma avaliação do teste de aglutinação de partículas de gelatina contendo o antígeno glicolipídio fenólico trissacarídico (PGL-I) no sorodiagnóstico da hanseníase (MLPA). Os pacientes foram separados de acôrdo com suas formas clínicas e tempo de tratamento, totalizando 1011 amostras. Nos pacientes paucibacilares (MHI e MHT), o teste MLPA não foi eficaz no diagnóstico sorológico e no acompanhamento dos pacientes em tratamento. Nos pacientes multibacilares (MHB e MHV) o teste MLPA demonstrou ser bastante sensível e específico e promissora a sua utilização no diagnóstico, no acompanhamento de pacientes multibacilares em tratamento, no diagnóstico de contatos hansenianos (suspeitos) e também no diagnóstico precoce de portadores sadios, sem sintomas aparentes (infecção subclínica). Para verificação da qualidade de um determinado teste sotológico, a Organização Mundial de Saúde (O.M.S.) recomenda que se determine o índice Kappa, utilizando como padrão o teste ELISA. O teste de aglutinação MLPA apresentou o índice Kappa de 0,852, classificado como quase perfeito (grau mais elevado do índice de Kappa). Os resultados do teste de MLPA foram também comparados com os resultados da bacterioscopia durante o tratamento dos hansenianos e se mostrou mais sensível apresentando um decréscimo mais lento dos títulos sorológicos do que a queda dos índice bacteriológicos. Devido à sua especificidade, sensibilidade, facilidade de execução e baixo custo, o teste sorológico MLPA associado à bacterioscopia e intradermoreação de Mitsuda constitui um teste bastante adequado no diagnóstico da hanseníase, principalmente da forma clínica mais grave da doença, a virchowiana.
