Abstract
Provided are peptides suitable for early detection of active(Mtb) infection in immunocompromised individuals. The peptides can form complexes with antibodies directed to Mtb antigens MS, MPT51, ESAT6 or CFPIO. Also provided are methods for detected of complexes of the peptides and the antibodies. The presence of complexes aids in predicting risk in immunocompromised individuals of developing active tuberculosis.
