Selection of single-chain variable fragments specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis ESAT-6 antigen using ribosome display
Objective(s): Tuberculosis (TB) is still one of the problematic infectious diseases in developing countries, especially in Iran. In the present study, we applied ribosome display technique to select single chain variable fragments (scFvs) specific for the 6-kDa early secretory antigenic target (ESAT-6) antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a mouse scFv library. Materials and Methods: The g...
متن کاملAntigen specificity in experimental bovine tuberculosis.
This report describes the kinetics of T-cell responses to a panel of mycobacterial antigens (PPD-M, PPD-A, ESAT-6, Ag85, 38kD, MPB64, MPB70, MPB83, hsp16.1, hsp65, and hsp70) following experimental infection of cattle with Mycobacterium bovis. Increased antigen-specific lymphocyte proliferation, gamma interferon, and interleukin-2 responses were observed in all calves following infection. Posit...
متن کاملEvaluation of Human Serological Response to Recombinant TB10.4 Antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Introduction: Development of effective immunodiagnostic methods for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is crucial. Serodiagnostic methods, based on antibody response to specific antigens could provide promising approaches for rapid, economical and easy to perform diagnostic tests which are crucial for tuberculosis (TB) control. In this study, the level of IgG antibody responses...
متن کاملA serological test for tuberculosis.
This paper describes an evaluation of the whole cell agglutination test for tuberculosist, carried out as Army Medical Directorate Research (AMDR) project 221. A !total of eighty-three cases, where the consultants were able to give a final diagnosis, are considered. The test was found to give inaccurate results in 39 per cent of cases under clinical investigation, also to show an 18 per cent fa...
متن کاملevaluation of serological tests using a60 antigen for diagnosis of tuberculosis
identification of acid-fast bacilli (afb) in sputum or tissue samples is among definite diagnostic methods of tuberculosis. however, this method of diagnosis is restricted by certain limitations. serologic diagnosis of tuberculosis (tb) has been used for a long time. the aim of this study was to determine the sensitivity and , specificity of antigen 60 (a60) igg, iga, igm test results in tb d...
