Study Development on Antigens of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the major infectious diseases,a serious harm to human health.The genetic background of mycobacterium tuberculosis is complex,and antibody responses of different patients are quite different,which makes it impossible to realize timely and accurate diagnosis of single antigen and single diagnosis method.In recent years,domestic and foreign scholars found some new mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens and specific antigens,gradually improving the diagnosis method of tuberculosis and is of great significance.Here is to make a review on the biological characteristics of these antigens and the research progress of the application in the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
