An immunohistochemic assay to localize leptospires in tissue specimens

Abstract: SUMMARYAn Immunoperoxidase technique for identification of leptospires in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded kidney sections is presented, using peroxidase-anti¬ peroxidase complex. The anti-leptospiral antibody was raised in rabbit. Possible applications of this technique are discussed.

“…Primary antibodies ( Table 2 ) were produced in previous studies 14 , 17 , 20 . Briefly, anti- Leptospira 20 , anti-Lp25 14 and anti-LipL32 17 were prepared by the hyper immunization of rabbits with a cellular suspension of Leptospira interrogans serovar Icterohaemorrhagiae strain R192, or with recombinant purified Lp25 or LipL32 proteins, respectively. The anti- Leptospira (anti-L) serum was used in the immunohistochemistry procedures to characterize the pathological features of leptospirosis in liver, kidney and muscular samples.…”

“…All patients presented with a clinical and epidemiologic picture compatible with leptospirosis. Diagnosis was confirmed either by at least a 4-fold rise in the microagglutination titer, a single microagglutination titer greater than 1:400, and/or detection of leptospiral antigen in biopsy or autopsy specimens [9,21]. All cases were ascribed as leptospirosis in the final reports, based on the findings in organs such as liver, kidneys, and lungs.…”
