Antimycobacterial antibodies in diffuse lepromatous leprosy detected by counterimmunoelectrophoresis. 1976

O Rojas-Espinosa, and S Estrada-Parra, and E Serrano-Miranda, and A Saul, and F Latapi

By using the counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) technic it was possible to demonstrate the presence of antimycobacterial antibodies in the sera of patients suffering from lepromatous leprosy. The antigen was prepared from isolated Mycobacterium lepraemurium. The technic was more reliable and quicker than Ouchterlony's classical double diffusion in gel. Clinical application of the method is therefore recommended.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
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
D008297 Male Males
D009166 Mycobacterium leprae A species of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria that causes LEPROSY in man. Its organisms are generally arranged in clumps, rounded masses, or in groups of bacilli side by side.
D009167 Mycobacterium lepraemurium The etiologic agent of rat leprosy, also known as murine leprosy.
D003378 Counterimmunoelectrophoresis Immunoelectrophoresis in which immunoprecipitation occurs when antigen at the cathode is caused to migrate in an electric field through a suitable medium of diffusion against a stream of antibody migrating from the anode as a result of endosmotic flow.
