Mycobacterium tuberculosis Antigen Rv2608 (Rv2608)

Target
Rv2608
Molecular classification
PPE proteins, Antigen
01

Overview

Rv2608 encodes the M. tuberculosis PPE41 protein—a member of the immunomodulatory PE/PPE family—recognized for its diagnostic value due to strong humoral immunogenicity. While not highly sensitive on its own as a biomarker, truncation or combination with other antigens enhances detection rates across diverse patient groups. Its stable genetic profile and capacity for inducing protective immunity make it an attractive candidate both for improved diagnostics and inclusion in multi-component vaccine strategies against TB.
