We used ELISA to estimate the prevalence of anti-sulfatide antibodies in HIV-infected individuals with distal sensory neuropathy (DSP) and compared the results with the prevalence in HIV-infected individuals without DSP and in individuals with neuropathy who are not infected with HIV. We found that 36% of HIV+/DSP+ individuals had immunoglobulin (Ig) G anti-sulfatide antibody titers greater than 1,500, whereas IgG anti-sulfatide antibodies were rarely found in HIV+/DSP- or HIV-/DSP+ patients.
我们使用酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)来评估患有远端感觉神经病变(DSP)的HIV感染者中抗硫酸脑苷脂抗体的流行情况,并将结果与未患DSP的HIV感染者以及未感染HIV的神经病变患者中的流行情况进行比较。我们发现,36%的HIV+/DSP+个体的免疫球蛋白(Ig)G抗硫酸脑苷脂抗体滴度大于1500,而在HIV+/DSP-或HIV-/DSP+患者中很少发现IgG抗硫酸脑苷脂抗体。
