Summary In response to recommendations from the Steering Committees responsible for co‐ordination of World Health Organization programmes for research on the immunology of leprosy (IMMLEP) and tuberculosis (IMMTUB), a list was prepared summarizing the properties of mycobacterial proteins currently under investigation with respect to their immunological activities. After consultation with more than 40 laboratories world‐wide this list was extended to form the compilation shown below and is intended to provide a comprehensive and convenient reference for future studies in this field.
