Effect of Growth State on Transcription Levels of Genes Encoding Major Secreted Antigens of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the Mouse Lung

Public Health Research Institute, Newark, New Jersey 07103,¹ Trudeau Institute, Saranac Lake, New York 12983²

Received 24 September 2003/ Returned for modification 28 November 2003/ Accepted 5 January 2004

Arrest of the multiplication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis caused by expression of adaptive immunity in mouse lung was accompanied by a 10- to 20-fold decrease in levels of mRNAs encoding the secreted Ag85 complex and 38-kDa lipoprotein. esat-6 mRNA levels were high throughout infection. The data imply that multiplying and nonreplicating tubercle bacilli have different antigen compositions.
