Hence, expression of an inserted nucleotide sequence in vivo will result in a polypeptide or protein carrying the signal peptide of the MPB70 protein.

  • the MPB70 gene was cloned into the pEP2 E. coli/Mycobacteria shuttle vector on an EcoRl fragment derived from the EMBL3 clone carrying the MPB70 gene.

  • a kanamycin resistant colony was isolated and streaked to purity. This isolate was grown in broth, centrifuged, and the pellet sonicated to produce protein extracts. Aliquots of this sample and controls were run on SDS polyacrylamide gels and electrophoretically transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. These membranes were immunoblotted with the MPB70 specific monoclonal antibody SB10 (Wood et al., J. Gen. Micro. 134: 2599- 2604, 1988).
  • Figure 4 shows that the sample from the M ⁇ smegmatis containing the MPB70 gene expressed a protein of the same molecular weight as that of the native protein expressed from ⁇ bovis BCG strain Japan. Although the level of expression was less than that of the BCG Japan strain, no MPB70 was dis ⁇ erible in non-transformed M ⁇ smegmatis or the related fast growing mycobacteria, Mycobacterium phlei.
