Detection of shared antigenic determinants between Mycobacterium leprae heat shock protein 65 and human heat shock protein 60

In these studies, it was investigated whether M. leprae and man share antigenic determinants which may be located on Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs), and which may be responsible for tissue destruction. Using immunoperoxidase singlestaining technique on cryostat sections it was observed that three antib...
