Abstract
Isolation of the secreted proteins and studying the immune response they induce is an essential prerequisite for understanding the pathogenesis of M. tuberculosis. In this study, preparative liquid-phase isoelectric focusing was used for the separation of culture filtrate protein (CFP) of M. tuberculosis. This procedure resolved culture filtrate proteins into 20 fractions with a pI range of 2.59 to 12.9. These 20 fractions were subjected to immunological analysis in healthy laboratory volunteers from our endemic area. Eleven fractions (Fractions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, and 19) showed increased interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) secretion and 5 fractions induced increased proliferative response, when compared to unfractionated CFP. In the 11 fractions which showed increased IFN-gamma secretion, mass spectrometric analysis identified 19 different proteins. Apart from the already reported immunodominant antigens like FbpB, CFP-10 and ESAT-6, two new T cell antigens (AcpM and PpiA) were also identified in the immunologically active fractions. Immunoinformatic analysis showed that PpiA was predicted to bind more number of class I and class II HLA alleles compared with the immunodominant ESAT-6 and CFP-10.
