Background

The ESAT6 antigen from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a dominant target for cell mediated immunity in the early phase of tuberculosis (TB) in TB patients as well as in various animal models. ESAT6 is not found in M. bovis BCG. Its function is not known but it elicits high level of IFN-gamma from memory effector cells during the first phase of a protective immune response.
