Specific Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity Responses to ESAT-6 Identify Tuberculosis-Infected Cattle

Human and bovine tuberculosis have long been detected by skin testing with purified protein derivative (PPD), a complex mix of partly denatured mycobacterial antigens with suboptimal specificity. In the present study, skin tests based on ESAT-6, a recombinantly produced antigen highly specific for t...
