ABSTRACT:
Recombinant 540 amino acid residue and 517 amino acid residue proteins encoded by the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are disclosed as are vectors for propagating their DNA sequences and expressing the proteins. Also disclosed are methods for using those proteins. Peptides that correspond substantially to the sequences of those proteins and methods of their use are also disclosed, as are polymers containing 517 protein pentapeptides as repeating units.
