An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed to detect circulating immune complexes (CIC) and antibodies to phosphatidylinositomannosides (PIM) of mycobacteria for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Identification of PIM in CIC of smear and culture positive (SPCP) cases revealed 88 % sen

The effect of acid pH treatment of circulating immune complexes (CIC) derived from tuberculosis sera was studied on the relative titers of specific antibody (CIC Ab) and mycobacterial antigen (CIC Ag) in the complexes. While the specific antibody titers increased, the titers of CIC Ag declined as a
Fifty-three sera from 29 patients with hydatid disease, all but one positive for specific anti-parasite antibodies and all negative for specific circulating antigens, were studied for the presence of circulating immune complexes (CIC) by conglutinin binding-assay (KgBA). Fourteen serum samples (26%)
