Etiology and incidence of chronic ulcers in Blantyre, Malawi (2006)

Zeegelaar, J.E., Stroink, A.C., Steketee, W.H., Faber, W.R., Komolafe, I.O.O., ...

Background Little information is available on the incidence and etiology of chronic ulcers in the tropics. Therefore, the incidence and etiology of chronic skin ulcers were assessed in out-patients...

Quantification of the response to miltefosine treatment for visceral leishmaniasis by QT-NASBA (2006)

Vries, P.J. De, Godfried, M.H., Dinant, H.J., Faber, W.R.

A male patient with psoriatic arthritis and visceral Leishmania infantum infection was treated with oral miltefosine 50 mg three times a day for 4 weeks at the Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, The...

Risk factors for developing leprosy - a population-based cohort study in Indonesia (2006)

Bakker, M.I., Hatta, M., Kwenang, A., Mosseveld, P. Van, Faber, W.R., Klatser, P.R., ...

We identified risk factors associated with increased yearly incidence rates of leprosy in five island populations. Age, sex, household size and Mycobacterium leprae-specific antibodies as well as...

Identification and characterization of epitopes shared between the mycobacterial 65-kilodalton heat shock protein and the actively secreted antigen 85 complex: their in situ expression on the cell wall surface of Mycobacterium leprae.

Rambukkana, A, Das, P K, Burggraaf, J D, Faber, W R, Teeling, P, Krieg, S, ...

Both mycobacterial hsp65 and the actively secreted antigen 85 complex of 30-kDa region proteins are considered to be major immune targets in mycobacterial diseases. In this study, by using a novel...

Heterogeneity of monoclonal antibody-reactive epitopes on mycobacterial 30-kilodalton-region proteins and the secreted antigen 85 complex and demonstration of antigen 85B on the Mycobacterium leprae cell wall surface.

Rambukkana, A, Das, P K, Burggraaf, J D, Yong, S, Faber, W R, Thole, J E, ...

Proteins of the antigen 85 complex in the 30-kDa region secreted by live mycobacteria are important in the immune response against mycobacterial infections and may play an important biological role...

Application of a polymerase chain reaction for the detection of Mycobacterium leprae in skin tissues.

De Wit, M Y, Faber, W R, Krieg, S R, Douglas, J T, Lucas, S B, Montreewasuwat, N, ...

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on the selective amplification of a 530-bp fragment of the gene encoding the proline-rich antigen of Mycobacterium leprae was applied on sections of fixed or...

The mycobacterial secreted antigen 85 complex possesses epitopes that are differentially expressed in human leprosy lesions and Mycobacterium leprae-infected armadillo tissues.

Rambukkana, A, Burggraaf, J D, Faber, W R, Harboe, M, Teeling, P, Krieg, S, ...

The granulomatous skin lesions in leprosy are thought to be initiated by the immune response to certain antigens of the causative agent, Mycobacterium leprae. The antigen 85 complex is one of the...

Lymphocyte transformation test in leprosy: decreased lymphocyte reactivity to Mycobacterium leprae in lepromatous leprosy, with no evidence for a generalized impairment.

Faber, W R, Leiker, D L, Nengerman, I M, Zeijlemaker, W P, Schellekens, P T

Untreated leprosy patients were examined with respect to lymphocyte transformation in vitro after stimulation with mycobacterial and other microbial antigens, allogeneic lymphocytes, or nonspecific...

Identification and characterization of epitopes shared between the mycobacterial 65-kilodalton heat shock protein and the actively secreted antigen 85 complex: their in situ expression on the cell wall surface of Mycobacterium leprae.

Rambukkana, A, Das, P K, Burggraaf, J D, Faber, W R, Teeling, P, Krieg, S, ...
