Abstract
Experimental murine models with high, intermediate and low levels of genetically based susceptibility toLeishmania major are increasing non-comparative studies on immune responses against isolated antigens of L. majorin differentmurine strains. The aim of the present study was to find out whether there is an antigen that can induce protectiveimmune response in resistant and susceptible murine strains. To do that, crude antigenic extract of procyclic andL. majorwas prepared and subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Western-blottingwas used to search for antigen(s) capable of raising high antibody level of IgG2a versus IgG1 in the sera of bothinfected resistant and susceptible strains. Two novel antigens from metacyclic promastigotes of L. major(140 andantigens also reacted with IgG antibody of cutaneous leishmaniasis patients. We confirm that 140 and 152 kDa pro-teins of L. majorpromastigotes are inducing IgG production in mice and humans.
