Abstract
Arrest of the multiplication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis caused by expression of adaptive immunity in mouse lung was accompanied by a 10- to 20-fold decrease in levels of mRNAs encoding the secreted Ag85 complex and 38-kDa lipoprotein. esat-6 mRNA levels were high throughout infection. The data imply that multiplying and nonreplicating tubercle bacilli have different antigen compositions.Entities:
