Studies on in vitro human T cell reactivity to antigens of mycobacterium tuberculosis

Studies on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) antigens are important to improve immunodiagnostics and vaccine efficacy. A novel genome based strategy for antigen discovery is to relate what is highly expressed by bacilli in vivo or in vitro, to what is recognized by human T cells as antigens. As hypox...
