Field-evaluation of a new lateral flow assay for detection of cellular and humoral immunity against Mycobacterium leprae.
BACKGROUND:Field-applicable tests detecting asymptomatic Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae) infection or predicting progression to leprosy, are urgently required. Since the outcome of M. leprae infection is determined by cellular- and humoral immunity, we aim to develop diagnostic tests detecting pro-...
