In order to better understand the role of Mycobacterium leprae nasal carriage in the maintenance of infection reservoirs and transmission of leprosy, we applied a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that detected a 531-bp fragment of the pra gene of M. l

The polymerase chain reaction based on the selective amplification of a 531-bp fragment of the gene encoding the proline-rich antigen of Mycobacterium leprae was applied to nasal swab specimens from leprosy patients, occupational contacts, and endemi

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on the selective amplification of a 530-bp fragment of the gene encoding the proline-rich antigen of Mycobacterium leprae was applied on sections of fixed or frozen biopsy samples from leprosy patients. A sim

Using synthetic peptides representing overlapping sequences of the 100-amino-acid-long N-terminal region of the proline-rich antigen of Mycobacterium leprae (PRA), we have mapped the epitopes in the primary structure of PRA recognized by four monoclo

A Mycobacterium leprae expression library was constructed in the vectors EX1, pEX2, and pEX3 and screened with a pool of 19 well-absorbed sera from household contacts of leprosy patients. Twelve selected recombinants that were further characterized d

The 36,000-molecular-weight antigen (36K antigen) of Mycobacterium leprae is a major immunogenic protein carrying common and specific antigenic determinants recognized by antibodies and T cells in leprosy patients. Recombinant DNA clones containing t

Recent advances in treatment have achieved a large drop in the prevalence of active leprosy cases, but the incidence is at best decreasing slowly. Most people within leprosy-endemic populations have been exposed to Mycobacterium leprae, but few devel

To test for genotypic variations between different isolates of Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy, the 282 bp spacer region between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes was amplified using PCR, and submitted to single-strand conformation poly

Two ELISA tests for detecting chloroquine in urine have been developed using polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies which react with the 7-chloro-4-aminoquinoline part of the chloroquine molecule and thus recognize chloroquine, its metabolites, and amo

SUMMARY: A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using heat-stable Taq polymerase is described for the specific detection of Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy. A set of primers was selected on the basis of the nucleotide sequence of a ge
