Transfer of adoptive immunity to tuberculosis in mice.

abstract：:The Yersinia enterocolitica gsrA gene is a stress protein gene which was originally identified as essential for protecting cells under both extracellular environmental stress and intracellular stress in macrophages due to phagocytosis. The gsrA gene was shown to be a member of the htrA class of genes and to possess a ...
