ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to fusion proteins containing at least twoMycobacteriumspecies antigens. In particular, it relates to nucleic acids encoding fusion proteins that include two or more individualM. tuberculosisantigens, which increase serological sensitivity of sera from individuals infected with tuberculosis, and methods for their use in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of tuberculosis infection.
