Sequence Diversity in the <italic toggle="yes">pe_pgrs</italic> Genes of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Mycobacterium tuberculosis</named-content> Is Independent of Human T Cell Recognition
ABSTRACT The Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome includes the large family of pe_pgrs genes, whose functions are unknown. Because of precedents in other pathogens in which gene families showing high sequence variation are involved in antigenic variation, a similar role has been proposed for the pe_pgr...
