Three antigens from a culture filtrate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv were purified by affinity chromatography, using monoclonal antibodies. The molecular weights of the purified antigens are 17,000 to 19,000, 32,000 to 33,000, and 39,000, respectively, and by their migration patterns in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing and nonreducing conditions, they all appeared to be single-chain polypeptides. Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analyses indicated that the antigens are non-cross-reactive. All antigens generated an intermediate to strong skin reaction when tested in guinea pigs previously immunized with a live M. bovis BCG vaccine or with an oil emulsion preparation of phenol-or heat-killed M. tuberculosis. Lymphocytes isolated from peripheral blood or lymph nodes of similarly immunized guinea pigs could be stimulated by purified protein derivative and the purified antigens. Qualitative differences in stimulatory capacity between the preparations were demonstrated. The antigens may prove useful in further studies of the immunology and pathogenesis of tuberculosis.
