Resumo: | We have detected antibodies, in the sera of Chagas disease, Kala-azar and Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis patients, that bind multiple antigens shared between the three causative agents. The Chagas disease sera showed 98 to 100% positive results by ELISA when the Leishmania braziliensis and Leishmania chagasi antigens were used, respectively. The Kala-azar sera showed 100% positive results with Trypanosoma cruzi or L. braziliensis antigens by immunofluorescence assays. The antibodies in the sera of Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis patients showed 100% positive results by ELISA assays with T. cruzi or L. chagasi antigens. Furthermore, the direct agglutination of L. chagasi promastigotes showed that 95% of Kala-azar and 35% of Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis sera agglutinated the parasite in dilutions above 1:512. In contrast, 15% of Chagas sera agglutinated the parasite in dilutions 1:16 and below. Western blot analysis showed that the Chagas sera that formed at least 24 bands with the T. cruzi also formed 13 bands with the L. chagasi and 17 bands with the L. braziliensis. The Kala-azar sera that recognized at least 29 bands with the homologous antigen also formed 14 bands with the T. cruzi and 10 bands with the L. braziliensis antigens. Finally, the Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis sera that formed at least 17 bands with the homologous antigen also formed 10 bands with the T. cruzi and four bands with the L. chagasi antigens. These results indicate the presence of common antigenic determinants in several protozoal proteins and, therefore, explain the serologic cross-reactions reported here. |

Foram detectados anticorpos, nos soros de pacientes com doença de Chagas, Calazar e Leishnnaniose cutâneo-mucosa, que se ligam a antígenos compartilhados pelos três agentes causais. Os pacientes chagásicos mostraram 98 a 100% de soropositividade pelo ELISA quando antígenos de Leishmania braziliensis e de Leishmania chagasi foram usados, respectivamente. Os soros de Calazar mostraram resultados positivos com antígenos de Trypanosoma cruzi ou com L. braziliensis pela imunofluorescência. Ademais, os anticorpos nos soros de pacientes com Leishmaniose cutâneo-mucosa tinham 100% de resultados positivos pelo ELISA com antígenos de T. cruzi ou de L. chagasi. Ademais, a aglutinação direta de promastigotas de L. chagasi mostrou que 95% dos soros de Calazar e 35% de Leishmaniose cutâneo-mucosa algutinaram o parasito em diluições acima de 1:512. Em contraste, 15% dos soros chagásicos aglutinaram o parasito na diluição de 1:16 ou abaixo. Análises pelo Western blot mostraram que os soros chagásicos que formaram pelo menos 24 bandas com antígeno de T. cruzi também foramaram 13 bandas com antígeno de L. chagasi e 17 bandas com L. braziliensis. Os soros de Calazar que reconheceram pelo menos 29 bandas com o antígeno homólogo também formaram 14 bandas com o T. cruzi e 10 bandas com L. braziliensis. Finalmente, os soros de Leishmaniose cutâneo-mucosa que formaram pelo menos 17 bandas com o antígeno homólogo também formaram 10 bandas com os antígenos de T. cruzi e quatro com L. braziliensis. Esses resultados indicam a presença de determinantes antigênicos comuns em várias proteínas desses protozoários e, portanto, explicam as reações sorológicas cruzadas descritas aqui.
