Evaluation of immunologic response of salivary sIg-A in pediatric tuberculosis patients to antigen Ag38-rec of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Indonesian strain
Abstract:We studied the immune response of salivary secretory Objective immunoglobulin A (sIg-A) from a pediatric tuberculosis (TB) group (scoring of 6) and non-TB group (scoring <6) against recombinant Ag38 (Ag38-rec) from Indonesian strain.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Seventy-eight children were divided into three Materials and Methods groups; those with TB (n=26), those with suspected TB (n=26), and healthy children (n=26), their saliva was collected, and salivary sIg-A was challenged with purified Ag38-rec using th… Show more
