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 41-55 of M. tuberculosis homologue protein. Source protein also known as 10 kDa chaperonin, Protein Cpn10 and 10 kDa antigen. Recognition of this peptide by leprosy patients is seen by all 4 isotypes, with 17 patients showing an IgG1 response.
