Resumo
O presente estudo teve como objetivos comparar a resposta da imunoglobulina G e de suas subclasses nos seguintes grupos de animais; cães hígidos (n=45), animais sintomáticos naturalmente infectados por Leishmania sp. (n=45), animais assintomáticos naturalmente infectados por Leishmania sp. (n=45), cães portadores de leishmaniose visceral submetidos à tratamento (n=27) e animais hígidos submetidos à vacinação contra a doença (n=37). Inicialmente foram avaliadas IgG1 e IgG2 utilizando anticorpos policlonais e posteriormente as quatro subclasses de IgG (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 e IgG4) com anticorpos monoclonais na tentativa de identificar um perfil de resposta para cada grupo de cães. As determinações sorológicas foram realizadas por meio da técnica de ELISA. A avaliação das subclasses de IgG com anticorpos policlonais não permitiu diferenciar os grupos de cães estudados. Por outro lado, com os anticorpos monoclonais observou-se que o grupo sintomático apresentou estimulação de todas as subclasses de IgG enquanto nos animais assintomáticos apenas a fração IgG1 foi estimulada. Nos cães submetidos a tratamento todas as frações encontravam-se elevadas e nos vacinados ocorreu estimulação de IgG1, IgG3 e IgG4. Desta forma, a avaliação das quatro subclasses permitiu a diferenciação entre animais portadores de leishmaniose visceral com e sem quadro clínico; entre cães vacinados e cães assintomáticos acometidos pela doença; e entre cães com leishmaniose visceral submetidos a tratamento e cães infectados assintomáticos.
The present study aimed to compare immunoglobulin G subclasses in the following groups of animals: healthy dogs (n=45); symptomatic Leishmania sp. naturally infected dogs (n=45); asymptomatic Leishmania sp. naturally infected dogs (n=45); dogs with visceral leishmaniasis submitted to treatment (n=27) and healthy dogs vaccinated for visceral leishmaniasis (n=37). First of all IgG1 and IgG2 were evaluated using polyclonals antibodies, and later the four subclasses of IgG (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4) were evaluated with monoclonals antibodies, in order to identify a profile of reply for each group of dogs. Serological tests were carried out using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The evaluation of the subclasses with polyclonals antibodies did not allow to differentiate the groups of studied dogs. On the other hand, with monoclonals antibodies it was possible to verify that symptomatic dogs presented stimulation of all subclasses of IgG, while in asymptomatic animals only IgG1 was stimulated. In dogs submitted to treatment all fractions increased, and in vaccinated ones occurred stimulation of IgG1, IgG3 and IgG4. In such a way, the evaluation of the four subclasses allowed the differentiation between symptomatic and asymptomatic infected dogs; between vaccinated dogs and asymptomatic infected dogs; and between infected dogs submitted to treatment and asymptomatic infected dogs.
