Abstract
The humoral responses to recombinant MPT-51 and GlcB was determined by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Levels of immunoglobulin M (IgM) against MPT-51 and IgG against GlcB were higher among tuberculosis (TB) patients than among control individuals. When the MPT-51 and GlcB assays were combined, 90.8% specificity and 75.5% sensitivity were observed. MPT-51 and GlcB were recognized in the humoral responses of Brazilian TB patients.Entities:
