Detection of mycobacterial antigens in leprosy serum immune complex
Journal of Clinical Microbiology
|July 1, 1986
Abstract:
The antigens from immune complexes of sera from patients with mycobacterial diseases were released by sodium dodecyl sulfate. The antigenic activity of the released proteins was tested by agar gel diffusion and immunoelectrophoresis. This simple method provided direct evidence for the presence of mycobacterial antigens in the immune complexes of sera from patients with leprosy and tuberculosis.
