Abstract:

An immunogenic protein called P32 has been purified from Sauton zinc deficient culture filtrate of Mycobacterium bovis BCG using successively hydrophobic chromatography on Phenyl-Sepharose, ion exchange on DEAE-Sephacel and molecular sieving on Sephadex G-100. The final preparation was found to be homogeneous as based on several analyses. This P32 protein was a constituent of BCG cells grown in normal conditions. It represented about 3% of the soluble fraction of a cellular extract, and appeared as the major protein released in normal Sauton culture filtrate. This protein was found to have …
