  • Mycobacterial recombinants and peptides
    Patent number: 5840855
    Abstract: Recombinant 540 amino acid residue and 517 amino acid residue proteins encoded by the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are disclosed as are vectors for propagating their DNA sequences and expressing the proteins. Also disclosed are methods for using those proteins. Peptides that correspond substantially to the sequences of those proteins and methods of their use are also disclosed, as are polymers containing peptide repeating units corresponding to the 540 residue protein and also polymers containing 517 protein pentapeptides as repeating units.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 1995
    Date of Patent: November 24, 1998
    Assignee: Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation
    Inventors: Thomas Shinnick, Richard Houghten
