Tuberculosis in cattle remains a major zoonotic and economic
problem in many countries. The standard diagnostic assay for bovine
tuberculosis, the intradermal tuberculin test, has low accuracy.
Therefore, alternative immunodiagnostic methods, such as serological
assays, are needed for detection of infected animals. Development of an
accurate serodiagnostic test requires a detailed understanding of the
humoral immune responses during bovine tuberculosis and, in particular,
identification of the key antigens of Mycobacterium bovis
involved in antibody production. In this study, we characterized antibody responses in cattle experimentally infected with M. bovis. Sequential serum samples were collected every 3 to 4 weeks
for up to 27 months postinfection. Circulating immunoglobulin G
antibody levels were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
using 12 highly purified recombinant proteins of M. bovis. Six proteins, ESAT-6, 14-kDa protein, MPT63, MPT70, MPT51,
and MPT32, were identified as major seroreactive antigens in bovine
tuberculosis. A remarkable animal-to-animal variation of antigen
recognition by serum antibodies was observed. Kinetic analyses of
the antibody production to individual antigens during infection
revealed that the heterogeneous antigen recognition profile changed
markedly in a given infected animal as disease progressed.
