The 81-kDa malate synthase (MS; Rv 1837c) and the 27-kDa MPT51 (Rv 3803c) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are immunodominant antigens recognized by serum antibodies from approximately 80% of human immunodeficiency virus-negative smear-positive tuberculosis patients from India. We now provide evidence that the use of the MS/MPT51-based serodiagnostic assay can serve as an adjunct to sputum microscopy in the rapid diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.
结核分枝杆菌的81 kDa苹果酸合酶(MS;Rv 1837c)和27 kDa的MPT51(Rv 3803c)是免疫显性抗原,约80%来自印度的人类免疫缺陷病毒阴性涂片阳性肺结核患者的血清抗体可识别这些抗原。我们现在提供证据表明,基于MS/MPT51的血清学诊断检测可作为痰涂片显微镜检查的辅助手段,用于快速诊断肺结核。
