Immunological Responses and Epitope Mapping by Tuberculosis-Associated Antigens within the RD1 Region in Japanese Patients

Figure 2

Antigenic regions from ESAT-6. PBMCs were incubated with overlapping peptides from ESAT-6 (E1–E15), and the number of IFN- producing cells was measured using the ELISPOT assay. Shown are numbers of donors who responded (a) and the mean (±SE) number of SFCs (spot forming cells)/107 PBMCs in response to each peptide (b).
