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 tuberculosis patients is observed for IgG4 (1 patient), IgG3 (4 patients) and IGg1 (3 patients).
