Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The extraordinary success of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tb ) has been attributed to its ability to modulate host immune responses. The genome of M. tb encodes multiple immunomodulatory factors, including several proteins of the multigenic PE_PPE family, which comprise about 10% of its coding potential. The presence of these proteins in pathogenic mycobacteria strongly suggests that they...
