Abstract
The invention relates to recombinant polypeptides and peptides and particularly to the polypeptide containing in its polypeptidic chain the following amino acid sequence: the one extending from the extremity constituted by nucleotide at position (1) to the extremity constituted by nucleotide at position (194) represented in FIG. 4a and FIG. 4b. The polypeptides and peptides of the invention can be used for the diagnostic of tuberculosis, and can also be part of the active principle in the preparation of vaccine against tuberculosis.
