[ 1 ] - Construction of Eukaryotic Expression Vectors Encoding CFP-10 and ESAT-6 Genes and Their Potential in Lymphocyte Proliferation

Background: Mycobacterium (M.) bovis is the agent of bovine tuberculosis (TB) in a range of animal species, including humans. Recent advances in immunology and the molecular biology of Mycobacterium have allowed identification of a large number of antigens with the potential for the development of a new TB vaccine. The ESAT-6 and CFP-10 proteins of M. bovis are important structural and function...
