Abstract
- An IgM anti-phenolic glycolipid-I(PGL-I) antibodies in leprosy was measured using specimens of dried capillary blood collected on filter paper from the skin smear site instead of sera from venous blood. We also measured IgM antibodies from venous blood collected on filter paper. The correlation among the three samples was good. So I concluded the collection of capillary blood on filter paper is a convenient method for handling, mailing and storage of samples.
