Molecular and immunological analysis of a fibronectin‐binding protein antigen secreted by <i>Mycobacterium leprae</i>
1 Jan 1992
Abstract excerpt
By screening a Mycobacterium leprae lambda gt11 genomic DNA library with leprosy-patient sera we have previously identified 50 recombinant clones that expressed novel M. leprae antigens (Sathish et al., 1990). In this study, we show by DNA sequencing and immunoblot analysis that three of these clones express a M. leprae homologue of the fibronectin-binding antigen 85 complex of mycobacteria. The complete gene was...
