Détection de l'antigène F1 de Yersinia pestis dans les restes humains anciens à l'aide d'un test de diagnostic rapide

Abstract: Un test de diagnostic rapide par bandelette (RDT), qui détecte l'antigène F1 de Yersinia pestis, a été appliqué récemment sur les restes de dix-huit individus exhumés de quatre site du Sud-Est de la France, correspondant à des sépultures de pestiférés contemporains des XVI e , XVII e et XVIII e siècles. L'antigène F1 de Y. pestis a été détecté dans les restes de douze individus sur dix-huit testés (67%). Bien entendu, des témoins négatifs ont été utilisés et ont tous confirmé leur négativité à l'antigène peste… Show more

“…Earlier reports carried out on ancient human remains to detect Yersinia pestis infection reported satisfactory results using both tissues (Pusch et al, 2004;Bianucci et al, 2007Bianucci et al, , 2008. La Chaize-le-Vicomte soil samples were tested to avoid the risk of false-positive results due to cross-reaction with soil bacteria.…”

“…In earlier reports we provided suggestive evidence that the RDT for plague might be diagnostic for the detection of Yersinia pestis in ancient human remains (Bianucci, 2006;Bianucci et al, 2007Bianucci et al, , 2008. This putative evidence was based on four French and one German reputed plague sites in which RDT for plague and PCR sequenced-based analyses were performed.…”

“…We used spongy bone from femoral and humeral proximal and/or distal epiphyses as sources of Y. pestis F1 antigen. This material has previously been shown to be a source of F1 antigen (Bianucci et al, 2007). The bone samples were cleaned with dry brushes and decontaminated by UV light.…”

“…More recently, a palaeoimmunological technique, the plague dipstick assay or rapid diagnostic test for plague (RDT), has been successfully introduced for ancient Y. pestis immunodetection. The cheap test is now generally used for investigation of mass graves where plague victims are suspected to have been buried (Bianucci, 2006;Bianucci et al, 2007Bianucci et al, , 2008Bianucci et al, , 2009.…”

“…To detect Y. pestis F1-specific envelope glycoprotein, the Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) for plague was employed, an immunochromatographic assay extensively used in bioarchaeological investigations (Bianucci et al, 2007(Bianucci et al, , 2008(Bianucci et al, , 2009Kacki et al, 2011). Bone samples from the woman and her fetus and from the two sub-adults (Table 1) were analyzed as previously described (Haensch et al, 2010).…”
