Resumo: | Leishmania braziliensis is a causative agent of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL). The 034-JCG strain, isolated from a patient from the northern region of Paraná State, Brazil, was cultivated in Blood Agar Base medium, lyophilized and submitted to phenol-water extraction. The extract was treated with RNase I. The carbohydrate containing-antigen (Ag-CHO) was immunogenic to rabbits and showed at least a fraction with some negative charge at pH 8.2. This antigen showed cross-reactivity with the phenol-water extract of the growth medium used for the culture of promastigotes and with the surface antigens of promastigotes. Its composition is: 24.3% of total sugars, from which 11.2% of galactose, 7.5% of mannose and 5.6% of ribose. Protein content was 5.4% and phosphate 18.5%. The antigenic activity was maintained after: repeated freezing-thawing; lyophilization; heating at 100ºC for 30 minutes; treatment with RNase, trichloroacetic acid and sodium metaperiodate. The precipitin line obtained is Periodic Acid Schiff positive. The application of the Ag-CHO in counterimmunoelectrophoresis reaction for the immunodiagnosis of ACL showed 60% sensitivity, and no cross-reaction with the five sera of Chagas' disease patients tested. The use of this antigen in a more sensitive technique, with more samples of sera, may improve these results. |

A Leishmania braziliensis é um dos agentes causadores da Leishmaniose Tegumentar Americana (LTA). A cepa 034-JCG, isolada de paciente da região norte do estado do Paraná, Brasil, foi cultivada em meio Blood Agar Base, liofilizada e submetida a extração com fenol-água e o extrato obtido foi tratado com RNase I. O antígeno contendo carboidrato (Ag-CHO) mostrou-se imunogênico para coelhos e apresentou pelo menos uma fração com poucas cargas negativas em pH 8,2. Este antígeno apresenta reação cruzada com extrato fenólico do meio de cultura usado para o cultivo de promastigotas e com antígenos de superfície de promastigotas. É composto por 24,3% de açúcares totais, dos quais 11,2% de galactose, 7,5% de manose e 5,6% de ribose. As proteínas foram estimadas em 5,4% e fosfato em 18,5%. A atividade antigênica foi mantida após: congelamentos e descongelamentos repetidos; liofilização; aquecimento a 100ºC durante 30 minutos; tratamento com RNase, ácido tricloroacético e periodato de sódio. As linhas obtidas nas reações de precipitação coram-se pelo Ácido Periódico de Schiff. A utilização do Ag-CHO na reação de contraimunoeletroforese para o imunodiagnóstico de LTA mostrou 60% de sensibilidade, e nenhuma reação cruzada com os 5 soros de pacientes com Doença de Chagas testados. O uso deste antígeno com técnicas mais sensíveis, e com um maior número de amostras poderá melhorar estes resultados. Universidade de São Paulo.
