| Popis | IgG avidity to p15.5 kD, p17 kD, and p47 kD antigens of Treponema pallidum was analysed by a new avidity assay termed avidity Western blot. Group I consisted of sera from 27 patients with primary and secondary syphilis, group II comprised 10 subjects with latent syphilis. Low-avidity antibodies were directed against the p17 kD and p47 kD antigens in group I and against the p47 kD antigen in group II. No low-avidity IgG antibodies were detected by ELISA, a routine method for avidity assessment. |
