Molecular Characterization and Human T-Cell Responses to a Member of a Novel<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis mtb39</i>Gene Family
1 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
We have used expression screening of a genomic Mycobacterium tuberculosis library with tuberculosis (TB) patient sera to identify novel genes that may be used diagnostically or in the development of a TB vaccine. Using this strategy, we have cloned a novel gene, termed mtb39a, that encodes a 39-kDa protein. Molecular characterization revealed that mtb39a is a member of a family of three highly related genes that...
