Study

name:	Immune profiling of leprosy and tuberculosis patients to 15-mer peptides of Mycobacterium leprae and M. tuberculosis GroES in a BCG vaccinated area: implications for development of vaccine and diagnostic reagents.
description:	This peptide is identical to peptide 91-100 of M. tuberculosis homologue protein. Source protein also known as 10 kDa chaperonin, Protein Cpn10 and 10 kDa antigen. Recognition of this peptide by healthy endemic control individuals is seen in all 8 individuals as an IgG2 reponse, while 1 also shows IgG3 and IgG4 responses.
