چکیده
background: macrophage immune responses are affected by the secretory proteins of mycobacterium tuberculosis (mtb). this study aimed to examine the immune responses of macrophages to mtb secretory antigens, namely esat-6, cfp-10, and esat-6/cfp-10. methods: thp-1 cells (a human monocytic cell line) were cultured and differentiated to macrophages by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. the cytotoxicity of the recombinant mtb proteins was assessed using the mtt assay. two important immune responses of macrophages, namely no and ros production, were measured in response to the esat-6, cfp-10, and esat-6/cfp-10 antigens. the data were analyzed using one-way anova with spss, version 16, and considered significant at p<0.05. results: the results showed that the esat-6, cfp-10, and esat-6/cfp-10 proteins markedly reduced macrophage immune response. the treatment of the thp-1-differentiated cells with esat-6, cfp-10, and esat-6/cfp-10 reduced no and ros production. the treated thp-1-differentiated cells exhibited less inducible no synthase activity than did the untreated cells. no toxic effect on macrophage viability was observed for the applied proteins at the different concentrations. conclusion: it seems that the decline in macrophage immune response is due to the suppression of no and ros production pathways without any effect on cell viability.

BACKGROUND One of the most widely used methods to detect tuberculosis (TB) infection is the tuberculin skin test (TST). The completion of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) genome sequence has led to identification of several antigens that can be utilized for accurate diagnosis and control of TB. The aim of this study was to purify the recombinant M. tuberculosis antigens for the eval...

Cloning, expression and purification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ESAT-6 and CFP-10 antigens
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES ESAT-6 (6-kDaearly secretory antigenic target) and CFP-10 (10-kDa culture filtrate protein) have been described as dominant antigens recognized by T-cells and considered as virulence factors in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The aim of this study was to clone, express and purify recombinant ESAT-6 andCFP-10 proteins of M. tuberculosis in soluble form. MATERIALS AND METH...

The diagnosis of smear-negative and culture-negative patients with active tuberculosis (TB) is challenging. The detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific antibodies in human sera has been an important diagnostic aid. However, detection of antibody responses to a single antigen usually has a low sensitivity for diagnosis of TB. In this study, humoral immune responses against recombinant M...
