The immunodominant T cell epitopes of the mycolyl-transferases of the antigen 85 complex of M. tuberculosis.
The Ag85 complex is a 30-32 kD family of three proteins (Ag85A, Ag85B and Ag85C), which all three possess enzymatic mycolyl-transferase activity involved in the coupling of mycolic acids to the arabinogalactan of the cell wall and in the biogenesis of cord factor. By virtue of their strong potential...
