Genes for immunodominant protein antigens are highly homologous in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium africanum, and the vaccine strain Mycobacterium bovis BCG.

The relatedness of immunodominant protein antigens in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. africanum, and M. bovis BCG was investigated by comparing the genes that encode major protein antigens in M. tuberculosis with their counterparts in the other two mycobacteria. Genes encoding homologs of M. tubercul...
