  abstract = {<p>The kinetics of antibody responses of Mycobacterium leprae-infected armadillos to phenolic glycolipid-I (PGL-I) were studied by means of ELISA. The levels of both IgG and IgM antibodies to PGL-I increased with time. Some animals were less susceptible to disseminations of M. leprae infection and lived longer than others. These animals had high absorbance values (greater than 0.7) for IgG anti-PGL-I compared to more susceptible armadillos that had lower absorbance values for IgG anti-PGL-I.</p>},
