Abstract
The chemical composition of the deproteinized, delipidated cell walls of five strains of BCG and of an attenuated human strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been established, with special focus on their poly-L-glutamic acid content. All the cell walls have the same overall composition. Their poly-L-glutamic acid content varies from 0 to 4.6%. A correlation between the poly-L-glutamic acid content and the biological properties of the BCG strains reported in the literature could not be established.Entities:
