Evaluation of Leishmania antigens preparation and storage for use in enzyme immunoassays.

The influence of time and temperature on the storage of an alkaline antigen of L. major-like and L.(V.) braziliensis promastigotes added or not of a proteases inhibitor (PMSF) was evaluated by means of an IgG-ELISA. Antibodies in assays using L. major-like antigen stored at -20 degrees C for 6 months had a statistically lower geometric mean titer (GMT) and different 95% confidence interval limits (CL) than antigens stored otherwise, as assessed by the "t" statistic. The PMSFL. major-like antigen after storage for 6 months at a temperature of 4 degrees C had the same GMT and 95% CL displayed at time zero as well as when storage for 4 and 6 months at -20 degrees C. Significant differences were not found when L.(V.) braziliensis antigens were stored at times and temperatures mentioned; the PMSF antigen stored for 2 months at -70 degrees C resulted in a lower serum GMT and 95% CL than any other, as assessed by the "t" statistic. Antigen performance did not show any statistical difference associated to the addition of PMSF within the same species; the largest difference between antigens was that between PMSF-L. (V.) braziliensis and L. major-like without PMSF.
