Cross-Reactive Immunity to <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> DosR Regulon-Encoded Antigens in Individuals Infected with Environmental, Nontuberculous Mycobacteria
9 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium tuberculosis DosR regulon-encoded antigens are highly immunogenic in M. tuberculosis-infected humans and are associated with latent tuberculosis infection. We have investigated the hypothesis that infection with or exposure to nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) can induce cross-reactive immunity to M. tuberculosis DosR regulon-encoded antigens since responsiveness has been observed in non-M....
