title: [Detection of antibodies to sulpholipid IV from mycobacterium tuberculosis in pulmonary tuberculosis patients].
abstract: Serum IgG and IgM antibodies against a novel 2,3-diacyl-trehalose-2'-sulphate (SLIV) antigen using ELISA were determined in control (n = 112) and in pulmonary tuberculosis (n = 120) patients. The specificity and sensitivity of SLIV-IgG-ELISA were 96% and 52%, respectively. Those of SLIV-IgM-ELISA were 95% and 33%, respectively. Compared with PPD-IgG-ELISA, SLIV-IgG-ELISA showed that the specificity was about the same but the sensitivity was higher.
