The development of an Epstein-Barr virus transformed human B-cell line secreting a monoclonal antibody (MoAb), KR2/B5 is described. KR2/B5 is an IgM type of antibody and is highly specific for phenolic glycolipid-I (PGL-I) a component unique to M. leprae. The MoAb appears to be directed against the terminal sugar residue of the immunodominant trisaccharide component of PGL-I.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007918 Leprosy A chronic granulomatous infection caused by MYCOBACTERIUM LEPRAE. The granulomatous lesions are manifested in the skin, the mucous membranes, and the peripheral nerves. Two polar or principal types are lepromatous and tuberculoid. Hansen's Disease,Hansen Disease
