Efforts in diagnosing early leprosy using serological techniques
Om Parkash M K Beuria B K Girdhar K Katoch U Sengupta
Skin scrapings obtained from the lesions of leprosy patients of all types showed 96 % positivity to the serum antibody competition test using monoclonal antibody (ML04)to 35 kDa antigen of Mycobacterium leprae . Further, in vitro culture of full thickness skin biopsies from lepromatous patients were noted to release IgG antibodies toM. leprae with a peak antibody response at 48 h. The significance of this local antibody response toM. leprae in skin has been discussed for its possible use in diagnosing early leprosy.

To trigger further research on plant mitochondria, the Journal of Biosciences is bringing out a special issue titled "Plant Mitochondria: Properties and Interactions with Other Organelles".
Plant mitochondria are quite distinct and have unique features, such as a cyanide-insensitive alternate pathway. They also interact with chloroplasts to optimize photosynthetic carbon assimilation.
Submissions are welcome until 30 July 2023. The contributions can be original articles, short communications, reviews, or mini-reviews on any topic related to plant mitochondria.
Authors can submit their articles online at https://www.editorialmanager.com/jbsc/default2.aspx
