Variation of the expression of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ppe44 gene among clinical isolates.

FEMS immunology and medical microbiology - 1 Nov 2007

Abstract excerpt

PPE44 is a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis PPE proteins, a polymorphic family of 69 glycine-rich proteins that predictively represent a source of antigenic variation. The genetic diversity of gene ppe44 among clinical isolates has been studied. No genomic polymorphism of ppe44 was found by a PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay using three restriction enzymes. Nucleotide sequencing of gene...
