- the sample was solubilized in 10% formic acid and fixed onto a polybrene coated (1 g) TFA treated glass fibre disc and used for sequencing.
- the first 18 amino acids from the N-terminal was determined using the whole protein. Based on the amino acid sequences of the tryptic peptides, V8 protease was selected to generate the peptides that could give the overlaps for the tryptic peptides. The alignment of both tryptic and V8 protease peptides gave the complete sequence for the 17 kDa antigen. The details of the overlaps are given in Fig. 4.

- Sera derived from 24 healthy persons and 20 culture proven TB patients were titrated against the 17 kDa antigen as follows.
- PVC Dynatech plates were coated with 1 ug/ l PBS of electro o eluted 17 kDa antigen for 24 h at 22 C.
- PBS-BSA blocked plates were then titrated against duplicate (1/200) dilutions o of sera which were incubated at 22 C for 2.5 h. Washed plates received anti human IgG HRP conjugate for 1.5 h.
- Washed plates were then assayed with O-phenylene diamine substrate and read at 492 na.

- Sensitivity Known positivity among TB patients
- Specificity Known negativity among healthy controls
- ELISA + OD 492 n >-0.3 at 1/200 dilation (-mean + 2SD of OD 492 na for healthy controls, n-24].
- M.tuberculosis strains can be used in a micro ELISA system for the immuno diagnosis of tuberculosis in man.
- the peptides YEVR and ATYDK were mutually inhibitive thus indicating that they were a part of a complete antibody epitope, which was confirmed also by the determination of the complete structure of the 17 kDa antigen as in section 5.2.2, Fig 4.
- the other four _peptides were linear and probably conformational in the presentation of the antibody epitope.

- RATYDKRYEVR Sensitivity 65%; Specificity 95%
- SEFAYGSFVR Sensitivity 66%; Specificity 95*
- the antibody epitope mapping as described has thus indicated that defined sub structures or peptides of 17 kDa antigen can be synthesized and used for the immunodiagnosis of human tuberculosis in micro ELISA.
- the peptide of the sequence RATYDKRYEVRDFDGRAEL was synthesized and found to have a sensitivity of 86.6% and a specificity of 100% when tested on CSF samples from culturtproven TBM patients and controls. This peptide is accordingly particularly suitable for use in place of the 17 kDa antigen in the ELISA test. 5.3.5 Demonstration that 17 kDa antigen is lympho proliterative
- PBL Peripheral blood lymphocytes
- T cell stimulatory epitopes were located on peptides of the following sequences: SEFAYGSFVR AELPGVDPDCDVCITK
- the 17 kDa antigen or sub structures can te used to stimulate human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Since stimulated lymphocytes elaborate several cellular growth and differentiation factors which contribute to the vaccine effect of 17 kDa antigen or its sub structures, the 17 kDa antigen can be used at the first instance as a vaccine against TB and also for non- specifically boosting cellular immunity.
- Figure 6 shows the primary structure of the 17 kDa antigen from M.tuberculosis containing the biologically active regions, although similar activity need not be ruled out in the unmarked regions.
- the present invention describes the immunoche ical properties of a novel 17 kDa protein antigen from M.tuberculosis (SII 1 strain) .
- M.tuberculosis causes tuberculosis worldwide aaong 16 million people. Because of inadequacy of the diagnostic procedures available now the disease has not yet been eradicated.
- the focus of research in recent years has been the development of immuno diagnostic methods for detecting TB at an early stage as well identification of suitable candidates for vaccination since the traditional BCG vaccine has given only a partial protection against TB.
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET SEFAYGSFVR which carried antibody binding epitopes for diagnosis of TB. Further, it contained two peptides which carried predicted T cell stimulating regions in sequences, SEFAYGSFVR and AELPGVDPDCDVCITR. The latter two peptides presumably contributed to the T cell stimulating property of the whole 17 kDa antigen described in this invention. The T cell stimulating property of the 17 kDa antigen and its sub structure peptides means that they could be used in therapy and vaccination for TB. 7. Figure legends.

Abstract
On décrit les propriétés immunochimiques d'un antigène protéique de 17 kDa, fractionné, purifié et séquencé pour les acides aminés de Mycobacterium tuberculosis (isolat sud-indien, SII 1), qui est la cause de la tuberculose chez l'homme, auprès de 16 millions de patients dans le monde entier. L'antigène protéique de 17 kDa, qui comporte une N-terminaison de A T T L P V Q R (aa 1-8) possède au moins trois épitopes spécifiques de liaison d'anticorps situés sur des peptides linéaires des séquences R A T Y D K R Y E V R (aa 91-101) et S E F A Y G S F V R (aa 68-77), qui se sont avérés utiles dans un micro-ELISA pour le diagnostic précoce de la tuberculose chez l'homme par détection d'anticorps spécifiques. On a constaté que l'antigène protéinique de 17kDa, qui s'est révélé mitogène pour les lymphocytes sanguins périphériques, portait trois épitopes prédits de lymphocytes T sur des peptides linéaires des séquences S E F A Y G S F V R (aa 68-77) et A E L P G V D P D C D V C I T R (aa 107-122). On a constaté que l'antigène de 17 kDa de M. tuberculosis (SII 1), qui possédait donc des propriétés de réaction à la fois aux lymphocytes B et T, contenait 131 acides aminés et qu'il peut être appliqué dans l'immunodiagnostic, immunothérapie et immunoprophylaxie de la tuberculose chez l'homme.
