摘要

'' POLYPEPTIOUS UNDERSTANDING AN IMMUNOGENIC PORTION OF AN ANTIGEN OF M. TUBERCULOSIS, DNA MOLECULE, EXPRESSION VECTOR, HOST CELL, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION, VACCINE, PROTECTIVE DETECTION, PROCEDURE OF PROTECTION, PROCEDURE OF PROCEDURE IN A PATIENT, AND, DIAGNOSTIC KIT ''. Compounds and processes for inducing protective immunity against tuberculosis are described. The compounds provided include polypeptides that contain at least an immunogenic portion of one or more M. tuberculosis proteins and DNA molecules encoding such polypeptides. Such compounds can be formulated as vaccines and / or pharmaceutical compositions for immunization against M. tuberculosis infection, or they can be used for diagnoses of tuberculosis.
