Patent

CA 2577597

The present invention provides diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic reagents for infection of an animal subject such as a human by M. tuberculosis, and conditions associated with such infections, such as, for example, tuberculosis. More particularly, the present invention provides a recombinant protein of M. tuberculosis designated "BSX" (SEQ ID NO: 1) and immunogenic epitopes thereof such as, for example, comprising SEQ ID NOS: 34, 25 and 45, that are useful in antibody-based diagnostic applications. The present invention also provides antibodies against BSX and its immunogenic peptides that are useful for antigen-based diagnostic and prognostic tests, and for therapy and vaccine formulations.

La présente invention concerne des réactifs de diagnostic, de pronostic et de traitement thérapeutique destinés à l~infection d~un sujet animal tel qu~un être humain par M. tuberculosis, et les pathologies associées à de telles infections, telles que par exemple, la tuberculose. Plus particulièrement, la présente invention concerne une protéine recombinante de M. tuberculosis, appelée « BSX » (SEQ ID NO: 1), et des épitopes immunogènes de celle-ci tels que, par exemple, SEQ ID NO: 34, 25 et 45, qui sont utiles pour des applications de diagnostic à base d~anticorps. La présente invention concerne également des anticorps anti-BSX et ses peptides immunogènes qui sont utiles pour les tests de diagnostic et de pronostic à base d~antigènes, et pour la thérapie et les formulations vaccinales.
