IgG and IgM antibodies immunoreacting with sulfolipids from Mycobacterium tuberculosis were detected in sera from tuberculosis patients. The method used was an enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) and the antigens were a 2, 3, 6, 6' tetraacyl trehalose-2'-sulfate (sulfolipid I, SL I) and a 2, 3 diacyl trehalose-2'-sulfate (sulfolipid IV, SL IV). The SL IV antigen was satisfactory for IgG assays. The sensitivity and the specificity of the test were, respectively, 59 and 100%; the predictive values of a positive and negative test were, respectively, 100 and 76%.
