name:
Serological specificity of phenolic glycolipid I from Mycobacterium leprae and use in serodiagnosis of leprosy.
description:
Sera from rabbits immunized with M. leprae (the source species) recognized the epitope by ELISA. The trisaccharide moiety within the epitope is responsible for antibody binding since its removal greatly diminished recognition of the epitope.
