Popis:	Commercial serological tests for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) show poor sensitivity and specificity, and a new approach to antigen screening is required to improve the accuracy of serodiagnosis.Using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we evaluated the responses of IgG and IgM antibodies to the recombinant PstS1-LEP protein expressed in Escherichia coli, a polyprotein of PstS1 and line multi-epitopes polypeptide (LEP).The mixture of anti-human IgG and IgM added to a well [Ig(G + M)], which was different from the combination of IgG and IgM (IgG + IgM), had a stronger immunoreactivity to PstS1-LEP than the single antibody. IgG and Ig(G + M), but not IgM against the PstS1-LEP protein effectively distinguished TB patients from patients with nontuberculous pulmonary disease (NTBPD) and healthy controls (HCs). Compared with IgG, the sensitivities of Ig(G + M) and IgG + IgM varied from 71.4% to 77.6% and 72.7% in pulmonary TB (PTB) patients and from 42.1% to 64.0% and 55.8% in extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) patients, respectively. The specificity of Ig(G + M) did not decrease, and was higher than that provided by IgG + IgM in HCs with positive tuberculin skin test.These findings suggest that PstS1-LEP can act as a candidate for detecting Ig(G + M) in serum from PTB and EPTB patients.
