A Mycobacterium leprae lambda gt11 clone designated T5 has previously been selected with sera from tuberculoid leprosy patients. Sequence analysis of this clone revealed the presence of two overlapping open reading frames (ORFs) present on the two cDNA strands. The first ORF codes for the serologically recognized antigen, which was fused with the lacZ gene in the lambda gt11 clone. The second ORF, present on the complementary strand, displays strong sequence homology with the aspartyl-tRNA synth ...[more]
