title: Mycobacterial protein antigens: a compilation.
abstract: In response to recommendations from the Steering Committees responsible for co-ordination of World Health Organization programmes for research on the immunology of leprosy (IMMLEP) and tuberculosis (IMMTUB), a list was prepared summarizing the properties of mycobacterial proteins currently under investigation with respect to their immunological activities. After consultation with more than 40 laboratories world-wide this list was extended to form the compilation shown below and is intended to provide a comprehensive and convenient reference for future studies in this field.
