Sera from a total of 268 patients with protozoan, helminth, bacterial (leprosy and tuberculosis) infections or appropriate controls, were assayed for anti-tubulin antibodies in an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), using purified tubulin as antigen. Levels of serum anti-tubulin antibody were significantly elevated in 67% of patients with visceral leishmaniasis, in 60% of patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis, in 89% of patients with onchocerciasis, in 100% of patients with schistosomiasis, and in 94% of patients with leprosy. Little or no increase in anti-tubulin antibody levels was seen in sera from patients with malaria (Plasmodium vivax) or tuberculosis.
共收集了268例原生动物、蠕虫、细菌(麻风病和结核病)感染患者或相应对照的血清,以纯化微管蛋白为抗原,采用间接酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)检测抗微管蛋白抗体。内脏利什曼病患者中67%、皮肤利什曼病患者中60%、盘尾丝虫病患者中89%、血吸虫病患者中100%以及麻风病患者中94%的血清抗微管蛋白抗体水平显著升高。疟疾(间日疟原虫)或结核病患者血清中抗微管蛋白抗体水平几乎没有升高或未见升高。
