Identification of Rv2041c, a novel immunogenic antigen from Mycobacterium tuberculosis with serodiagnostic potential.

abstract：:Clonal selection in the thymus occurs mostly in the CD4+ CD8+ (double positive; DP) stage. Within DP thymocytes, cells in the CD3low subset are believed to be involved in clonal selection, and this subset is generally considered as a homogeneous population. T-cell antigen-receptor (TCR) signals on DP thymocytes are kn...
