PURIFICATION AND MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF BCG ANTIGEN 60
Tuberculosis remains as an important socioeconomical and medical problem throughout the world and especially in Iran. Early and timely diagnosis of pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis is vital to initiate prompt treatment. Current diagnostic methods are either slow or lack enough sensitivity or specificity. Several mycobacterial antigens are involved in the complex interaction with t...

1315 be generally advocated, however, it would be necessary to study larger groups of patients and controls to determine the sensitivity and specificity ofthe test. Ironically, the diagnostic ( ‘gold”) standard against which the test results would be weighed would be clinical evaluation with reproduction of symptoms with hyperventilation. In the final analysis, therefore, I believe that the dia...

متن کاملLymphocyte recruitment and protective efficacy against pulmonary mycobacterial infection are independent of the route of prior Mycobacterium bovis BCG immunization.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects humans through the lung, and immunity to this chronic infection is mediated primarily by CD4(+) T lymphocytes. Recently we have demonstrated that the recruitment of lymphocytes to the lung during primary aerosol M. tuberculosis infection in mice occurs predominantly through the interaction of alpha(4)beta(1) integrin on CD4(+) T cells and vascular cell adhesio...
