Near K, LEFFORD M
J Clin Microbiol . 1992 May; 30(5):1105-10. PMID: 1583106
Active tuberculosis (TB) and leprosy are difficult to diagnose early because there are few organisms to detect and the specific immune response does not distinguish between active and inactive disease....

Int J Lepr Other Mycobact Dis . 1991 Sep; 59(3):432-40. PMID: 1890367
An ELISA has been used to measure IgM antibodies to phenolic glycolipid-I (PGL-I) in previously undiagnosed patients who were suspected of leprosy on purely clinical grounds. The certainty of clinical...

J Infect Dis . 1991 Mar; 163(3):653-6. PMID: 1995739
A simplified assay to measure the phenolic glycolipid 1 (PGL-1) of Mycobacterium leprae in the urine was applied to the diagnosis of leprosy and the monitoring of antileprosy chemotherapy. One...

Benjamins J, Callahan R, Runft D, Gerras G, LEFFORD M
J Neuroimmunol . 1989 Feb; 21(2-3):125-35. PMID: 2463996
Sera or plasmas from 129 leprosy patients were tested by immunoblotting for antibodies that bound to proteins in a Triton-insoluble fraction enriched in neural intermediate filaments (IF fraction) from human...

Kaldany R, Maasho K, Ohman R, Britton S, LEFFORD M
Scand J Immunol . 1987 Jan; 25(1):37-43. PMID: 3544198
Two methods for detecting the phenolic glycolipid, PGL-1, a Mycobacterium leprae-specific molecule, in the urine of leprosy patients are described. Both methods rely on the 100-fold preconcentration of the urine,...

Benjamins J, LEFFORD M
J Neuroimmunol . 1986 Feb; 10(4):313-30. PMID: 3511085
Sera from 43 leprosy patients were tested for antibodies that bound to normal human nerve. Thirty-eight percent showed positive staining as demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence. Only 1 out of 30...

Infect Immun . 1985 Jul; 49(1):190-6. PMID: 3891623
Nude athymic (nu/nu) mice on a BALB/c background and their heterozygous euthymic litter mates (nu/+) were infected with either 10(8) or 10(6) Mycobacterium lepraemurium organisms intravenously or in the left...

LEFFORD M
Infect Immun . 1983 Jul; 41(1):257-63. PMID: 6222990
Adoptive immunity is poorly expressed in normal syngeneic mice. This phenomenon was studied by using experimental antituberculosis immunity as a model system representing pure cell-mediated immunity. Expression of adoptive immunity...
