Avirulent mycobacterium H37Ra lipoarabinomannan (LAM) elicited nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor alpha in a dose-dependent manner in a murine macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7 cells. H37Ra LAM and recombinant gamma interferon were highly syne

Addition of soluble molecules obtained from sonicated Mycobacterium leprae markedly suppressed the proliferative response to the mitogen anti-CD3 of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and isolated T cells. Suppression was nonspecific and occurred wit

Pentoxifylline (PTX), a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, is known to downregulate tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) secretion induced by lipopolysacchride (LPS) and gamma interferon (IFN-gamma). We have had limited success in treating leprosy react

We examined the effects of interferon beta (IFN-beta) on the production of liporabinomannan (LAM)-induced nitric oxide (NO) in peritoneal macrophages from low-responder and high-responder (C3H/HeJ and C3H/OuJ) mice. NO was produced in a dose response

Since antibodies against peripheral nervous system (PNS) antigens may play a pathogenetic role in the mechanism of nerve damage in leprosy, sera from leprosy patients and contacts were investigated for anti-PNS antibodies by ELISA and immunoblot. In

In order to evaluate the potentials of IgA1 versus IgM as well as of native phenolic glycolipid-I (PGL-I) versus PGL-I-disaccharide coupled to bovine serum albumin (D-BSA) as antigens in the serodiagnosis of leprosy, anti-D-BSA IgA1 and anti-PGL-I Ig

Sequential serum samples from leprosy patients at various stages of antibacterial treatment were tested by an ELISA for antibodies to phenolic glycolipid I (PGL-I), a synthetic PGL-I analog (ND-BSA), and lipoarabinomannan (LAM) from Mycobacterium tub

IgG and IgM antibody levels to mycobacterial lipoarabinomannan (LAM) antigen were determined by ELISA in eight sooty mangabey monkeys (Cercocebus atys) prior to and at intervals after experimental inoculation with Mycobacterium leprae. High levels of

In lepromatous leprosy, there is extensive replication of Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae) within dermal macrophages. This lack of microbial resistance has been attributed to a defective cell-mediated immune response to M. leprae antigens. We have ex

Antigen and mitogen-induced gamma interferon (gamma-IFN) production was studied in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 34 leprosy patients. 17 of 18 lepromatous leprosy and borderline lepromatous patients (LL and BL) failed to release gamma-IFN i
