Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for diagnosing cattle tuberculosis using intradermal diagnostic composition is provided to easily prepare a large amount of intradermal diagnostic composition and to ensure diagnosis accuracy. CONSTITUTION: An intradermal diagnostic composition for testing cattle tuberculosis contains recombinant proteins of Esat6, HspX, PhoS, MPB70, MPB64, MPB83, Ag85, and SahH. A method for diagnosing tuberculosis of mammal except for human is performed using the intradermal diagnostic composition containing the recombinant proteins. The recombinant protein is prepared by isolating from Mycobacterium bovis and performing PCR.
