No evidence for antibodies to mycobacterial A60 antigen in Crohn's disease sera by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA).

Abstract

Sera from patients with Crohn's disease were tested with an ELISA system for antibodies to antigen A60 prepared from Mycobacterium bovis (BCG), M. avium and M. paratuberculosis. No evidence was found for significantly high titres of antibody to these antigens.
