RESUMO
The 30-kDa protein (P32) is a mycobacterial secreted antigen which is homologous in Mycobacterium bovis and M. tuberculosis. In vitro, P32 induced T-cell proliferation. M. tuberculosis- or P32-stimulated T-cell lines lysed macrophages pulsed with P32 or M. tuberculosis, respectively. We conclude that P32 stimulates cytotoxic T cells specifically.
