Ag85B

SYNONYMS
Antigen 85-B, 85B, Extracellular alpha-antigen, Antigen 85 complex B, Ag85B, Mycolyl transferase 85B, EC 2.3.1.-, Fibronectin-binding protein B, 30 kDa extracellular protein, fbpB, A85B, Major Secretory Protein Antigen 85B.

INTRODUCTION
Antigen 85B Mycobacterium Tuberculosis-is the most abundant protein exposed by M. Tuberculosis, as well as a potent immunoprotective antigen and a leading drug target. Ag85 induces strong T-cell proliferation and IFN-g secretion in most healthy individuals exposed to M. tuberculosis, in BCG-vaccinated mice and humans, whereas the antibody against Ag85 are more prevalent in active tuberculosis patients with decreased cellular immune response.

DESCRIPTION
Ag85B Recombinant His-Tag fusion protein produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain having a molecular mass of 30kDa.
