Mycobacterial Lipid Antigens against Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by bacteria named Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is the second biggest infectious disease after AIDS. The cell envelope of M.tuberculosis contains many unique lipids which play a key role in the pathogenicity. Some of the lipids have been identified as antigens, the phenolic glycolipids (PGLs), the lipoarabinomannan (LAM), and the phosphatidylinositolmannoside (PIMs). This book provides a comprehensive discussion about the PIMs epitopes identification, synthesis, and its immunological activity presented by the the CD1 molecules.
