1. Reação imunoenzimática (ELISA) para detecção de imunoglobulina M, imunoglobulina G e imunoglobulina A contra a proteína rHsp-X (Rv 2031c)de Mycobacterium tuberculosis em pacientes com tuberculose pleural / Linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of immunoglobulin M, immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin A against the protein rHsp-X (Rv2031c) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in patients with pleural tuberculosis
Pleural tuberculosis (TBP) has often spontaneous resolution, even without treatment. However, the lack of proper diagnosis and treatment can lead to the occurrence of pulmonary and/or extra-pulmonary tuberculosis in 65% of the cases, in the five years subsequent. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the recombinant Hsp-X antigen (

2. Evaluation of lipoarabinomannan for the serological diagnosis of tuberculosis.
The availability of highly purified lipoarabinomannan from Mycobacterium tuberculosis in its native acylated, highly antigenic state allowed its application to the serodiagnosis of tuberculosis in patients from the Republic of Mexico. Antilipoarabinomannan immunoglobulin G antibodies in sera from 66 patients with pulmonary, miliary, and pleural tuberculosis

3. Antigen capture assay for detection of a 43-kilodalton Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen.
This study describes the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens in body fluids. A double-antibody sandwich procedure that used human and rabbit anti-M. tuberculosis immunoglobulin G antibodies was followed. The ELISA was able to detect as little as 0.8 micrograms of protein of M. tuberculosis

4. Studies of Peripheral Blood T- and B-Lymphocytes in Acute Infections
E-binding (T) and immunoglobulin-bearing (B) lymphocytes were determined in 22 patients with acute infections. The percentage of T-cells was depressed in most patients in the early stages of disease, whereas the B-cell proportion was usually elevated compared with convalescence and controls. The B-cell increase occurred earlier in a small group of viral or m
