91 healthy contacts of leprosy patients were studied for subclinical infection and possibly the pre-clinical stage of the disease using a battery of tests. It was observed that the test based on competitive inhibition of monoclonal antibody binding to the MY2 a determinant of M. leprae identifies a preclinical stage of the disease.
对91名麻风病患者的健康接触者进行了研究,通过一系列检测来确定亚临床感染以及该病可能的临床前期阶段。据观察,基于单克隆抗体与麻风分枝杆菌MY2抗原决定簇结合的竞争性抑制作用的检测可识别出该病的临床前期阶段。
