ABSTRACT:
A method for the diagnosis of Mycobacterium bovis infection in a susceptible animal, comprises detection in said animal of antibodies against the MPB-70 protein of M.bovis and/or the detection of a cell-mediated immune response of said animal to the said MPB-70 protein. Also disclosed is a recombinant DNA molecule corresponding to all or portion of the M.bovis DNA sequence coding for the MPB-70 protein or a polypeptide having the antigenicity of MPB-70 protein, or degenerate forms thereof, as well as recombinant MPB-70 protein or polypeptide and a process for the preparation thereof.
