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...
