Evaluation of the use of recombinant proteins of Mycobacterium bovis as antigens in intradermal tests for diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis

The skin test with purified protein derivatives (PPD) from Mycobacterium bovis has been used for the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis. However, due to the suboptimal specificity of this protein mixture, improved tests based on defined specific antigens are needed. In the present study, recombinant p...

Evaluation of the use of recombinant proteins of Mycobacterium bovis as antigens in intradermal tests for diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis
description The skin test with purified protein derivatives (PPD) from Mycobacterium bovis has been used for the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis.

EsxI and PE5 exhibited a sensitivity level of 83.33% and specificity of 100% and 80%, respectively. The results of the present study suggest that the recombinant proteins have potential to be assessed as antigens in skin tests in cattle.
