Abstract:

Using culture filtrate Ag-specific mAbs generated from mycobacteria-infected H-2b haplotype mice, we have previously identified three genes in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome, encoding proteins homologous to the periplasmic ATP-binding cassette phosphate-binding receptor PstS of the phosphate-specific transport system of E. coli. To define the potential vaccinal properties of these phosphate-binding proteins, female C57BL/6 mice were injected i.m. with plasmid DNA encoding PstS-1, PstS-2, or PstS-3 proteins from M. tuberculosis and immunogenicity and protective efficacy against i.v. c…
