Characterization of B cell epitopes on the 16K antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

abstract：:The clinical use of dendritic cells (DCs) to induce antigen-specific immune tolerance has been hampered by the lack of a widely acknowledged method for generating human regulatory DCs but even more so by the non-existence of reliable markers. Thus, we set out to find reliable markers that can be measured with simple m...
