Identification of a promiscuous T-cell epitope in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Mce proteins

The characterization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens inducing CD4(+) T-cell responses could critically contribute to the development of subunit vaccines for M. tuberculosis. Here we performed computational analysis by using T-cell epitope prediction software (known as TEPITOPE) to predict pro...
