Abstract:
T cells from Mycobacterium avium-infected C57BL/6 mice reacted to culture filtrate, envelope, and cytosol proteins and to fractions obtained from these proteins. Multiple targets were recognized, such as 29- to 45-kDa and <21-kDa antigens of the culture filtrate, antigens of around 30 kDa in the envelope and cytosol, and 45- to 116-kDa proteins in the envelope.
