T-Cell and Antibody Responses to Mycobacterial Antigens in Tuberculin Skin-Test-Positive Bos indicus and Bos taurus Cattle in Ethiopia

Figure 3

Antigen recognition pattern by antibody from Holsteins and zebus kept on pasture homogenously. Serological reactivity to M. tuberculosis complex antigens was determined by MAPIA for the two breeds. Antigens are indicated on the right margin, while the numbers on the bottom indicate animals (eight animals from each breed). M. bovis culture filtrate (MBCF) and 16 kDa alpha-crystallin/MPB83 fusion proteins (16/83) were serodominant antigens in both breeds. E6P10 refers to the ESAT6 : CFP10 fusion protein; PPDb refers to M. bovis PPD.
