Mycobacterium tuberculosis specific proteins and genes, mixtures of anitgens and uses thereof

摘要

Two genes for proteins of M. tuberculosis have been sequenced. The DNAs and their encoded polypeptides can be used for immunoassays and vaccines. Cocktails of at least three purified recombinant antigens, and cocktails of at least three DNAs encoding them can be used for improved assays and vaccines for bacterial pathogens and parasites.
