title: Nucleotide sequence of the 85B-protein gene of Mycobacterium bovis BCG and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
abstract: We have cloned and sequenced the genes coding for the 85B antigen from M. bovis BCG and M. tuberculosis. Within this gene, the only difference in sequence between M. bovis BCG and M. tuberculosis corresponds, respectively, to a C-->T yielding a Leu-->Phe replacement at position 100 of the mature 85B protein. Therefore as we described previously for the 85A gene, there is also very little variation between these two species within the 85B gene.
