- W1508021298 abstract "Summary Although the delayed-type hypersensitivity skin test reaction to tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) is used worldwide for tuberculosis (TB) detection, it is incapable of distinguishing Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection from bacille Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccination or infection with non-tuberculous Mycobacteria. As a result, there is an urgent need for a more specific diagnostic tool for TB. This study reports the skin reactions of guinea pigs and human volunteers to recombinant early secreted antigen target 6 (rESAT6), a secretory protein found only in MTB, M. bovis and few other mycobacterial species. These volunteers had varying histories of BCG vaccination and exposure to MTB, allowing us to determine the specificity of their response to TB exposure. Our results show that 1·0 μg of the purified MTB rESAT6 antigen elicited a positive skin response in both animals and humans exposed to MTB, as well as in animals exposed to M. bovis and M. marinum, all species of Mycobacteria that contain the gene for early secreted antigen target 6 (ESAT6). ESAT6 appears to be more specific to MTB infection than PPD, as demonstrated by the fact that we saw no skin responses in the BCG-vaccinated volunteers, nor in the guinea pigs sensitized with BCG vaccine, or with Mycobacteria that do not contain the gene encoding ESAT6. We believe that this is the first report of the use of a rESAT6 protein in a skin test in human volunteers, and that these data support its use in the specific detection of MTB infection." @default.
