Mycobacterium tuberculosis Antigen
- Molecular classification
- Protein, Peptide, Enzyme (certain antigens), Cell Wall Component (certain antigens)
01
Overview
Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens are molecular components—primarily proteins—expressed by the bacterium *Mycobacterium tuberculosis* (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB). These antigens are recognized by the host immune system and play a central role in both infection control and diagnostic testing. They serve as targets for immune recognition, particularly by T cells, and some have enzymatic or structural roles in bacterial physiology. These antigens are relevant for diagnostics and vaccine development.
