Characteristics
Antigen 85B is the most abundant protein exposed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is a potent immunoprotective antigen and a leading drug target. It is a mycolyl transferase in the myc pathway and catalyses - like Ag85A and Ag85C- the transfer of the fatty acid mycolate from one trehalose monomycolate to another, resulting in trehalose dimycolate and free trehalose and helping to build the cell wall.
Purification
Polyclonal immunoglobulins purified by protein A affinity chromatography.
Immunogen
Purified recombinant protein Ag 85B expressed in E. Coli.
