Evaluation of a minimal array of Treponema pallidum antigens as biomarkers for syphilis diagnosis, infection staging, and response to treatment

Microbiology Spectrum
Syphilis is a multistage chronic sexually transmitted infection caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (T. pallidum). Today, syphilis is still endemic in low- and middle-income nations and has become resurgent in many high-income ...

Antigenic Conservation of an Immunodominant Invariable Region of the VlsE Lipoprotein among European Pathogenic Genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi SL [PDF]

, 2017
Lyme disease is caused by genetically divergent spirochetes, including 3 pathogenic genospecies: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. garinii, and B. afzelii. Serodiagnosisis complicated by this genetic diversity. A synthetic peptide (C6), based on the

Diagnostically significant antigens of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum: identification, serological efficacy, and characterisation of the major antigenic determinants. [PDF]

, 2000
The antibody response to native antigens derived from Treponema pallidum (Nichols strain) was investigated by western blotting. In early primary disease the responses were most frequently to the major immunodominant antigen, TpN47, and the flagellar ...

A novel ELISA using a recombinant outer membrane protein, rTp0663, as the antigen for serological diagnosis of syphilis

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016
Background: The lack of Treponema pallidum-specific antigens with highly accurate diagnosis makes the diagnosis of syphilis challenging. Methods: A soluble recombinant version of a new diagnostic protein Tp0663 has been produced.

Treponemal Specific Tests for the Serodiagnosis of Syphilis

Sexually Transmitted Diseases, 1998
To determine the rate of concordance of the Microhemagglutination Assay for Antibodies to T. pallidum (MHA-TP) and the Fluorescent Treponemal Antibody-Absorption test (FTA-ABS) prior to therapy in patients with early stage syphilis and to assess the incidence of and associated risk factors for seroreversion of these treponemal specific tests during the

Borrelia Burgdorferi-specific IgA in Lyme Disease [PDF]

, 2017
The laboratory diagnosis of Lyme disease is currently dependent on the detection of IgM and IgG antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of the disease. The significance of serum IgA against B. burgdorferi remains unclear.
