title: [Principles and methods of immunodiagnosis in tuberculosis].
abstract: The paper provides data on the current principles of tuberculosis immunodiagnosis, characterizes agents (antibodies, antigens, recombinant proteins, anti-idiotypes) used for these purposes, describes some difficulties arising in designing antigen and antibody diagnostic kits, presents the results of using various agents for the immunodiagnosis (primarily for serodiagnosis) of tuberculosis, discusses the diagnostic problems of tuberculosis during mass surveys and at tuberculosis hospitals. The results obtained at the Central Research Institute of Tuberculosis are given on the above issues along with references.
