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 similar to peptide 31-45 of M. tuberculosis homologue protein, except for E32D and N33T substitutions. Source protein also known as 10 kDa chaperonin, Protein Cpn10 and 10 kDa antigen. Recognition of this peptide is not seen in healthy endemic control individuals.
