When tested as a His-tagged recombinant protein, Rv3873 stimulated high levels of gamma interferon secretion in peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from tuberculosis (TB) patients, as well as from healthy tuberculin purified protein derivative-positive donors. In contrast to other RD1-encoded antigens, Rv3873 was also found to be recognized by a significant proportion of<jats:italic>Mycobacterium bovis</jats:italic>BCG-vaccinated donors. Epitope mapping performed with overlapping peptides revealed a broad pattern of T-cell recognition comprising both TB-specific epitopes and epitopes also recognized by BCG-vaccinated donors. The immunodominant epitope (residues 118 to 135) for both TB patients and BCG-vaccinated individuals was found to be highly conserved among a large number of PPE family members.</jats:p> PPE Protein (Rv3873) from DNA Segment RD1 of<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>: Strong Recognition of Both Specific T-Cell Epitopes and Epitopes Conserved within the PPE Family Infection and Immunity
