Abstract:
Objective: screen an antigen with high specificity and immunity for the serodiagnosis and explore the etiology of leprosy. Methods: 85C antigen of mycobacterium leprae was amplified by PCR technique, and insert amplified fragment into expression vector. Results: The recombinany 85C protein was recognized by anti -a-TB antisera. Conclusions: The result of this study will be useful for the further study of a-antigen

Key words: mycobacterium leprae; 85C antigen
