Abstract
Antigens, immunogens, inocula, antibodies, diagnostic methods and systems relating to tuberculous mycobacteria are disclosed. Each of the compounds, compositions, methods or systems contains a synthetic polypeptide having about 13 or 14 to about 40 residues, or an antibody containing site that immunoreacts with such a polypeptide. The polypeptide includes the thirteen or fourteen amino acid reside sequence (AlaLysValAsnIleLysProLeuGluAspLysIleCys) or (CysAlaLysValAsnIleLysProLeuGluAspLysIleCys). When linked to a carrier and introduced in an effective amount into a mammalian host, the polypeptide is capable of inducing production of antibodies that immunoreact with an antigen to a tuberculous mycobacterium.
