Abstract
The invention relates to nucleic acids which contain particularly a nucleotide sequence extending from the extremity constituted by the nucleotide at position (1) to the extremity constituted by the nucleotide at position (1211) represented on the figure, to the polypeptides coded by the nucleic acids. The polypeptides of the invention can be used for the diagnosis of tuberculosis, and can also be part of the active principle in the preparation of a vaccine against tuberculosis.
