We demonstrate by an ELISA the presence of antibodies in human filarial sera that react with diethylcarbamazine (DEC); they appear to be primarily filarial antibodies cross-reacting with DEC skeleton, since affinity-purified DEC antibodies strongly react with Wuchereria bancrofti microfilariae. These observations indicate a possible antigenic mimicry between the drug and some parasite component.
我们通过酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)证明,人类丝虫病血清中存在与乙胺嗪(DEC)发生反应的抗体;这些抗体似乎主要是与DEC骨架发生交叉反应的丝虫抗体,因为亲和纯化的DEC抗体能与班氏吴策线虫微丝蚴强烈反应。这些观察结果表明该药物与某些寄生虫成分之间可能存在抗原模拟。
