Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of molecular immunology, in particular to molecular mimic peptides capable of stimulating the human body's protective immune response against tuberculosis bacilli and their screening methods and uses. Background technique:
[0002] In recent years, tuberculosis (Tuberculosis, TB) has revived on a global scale. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, about one-third of the world's population and about 2 billion people are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), with about 9 million new cases each year, and up to 3 million deaths each year. The World Health Organization proposed a "global emergency" (global emergency). It can be seen that the impact and damage caused by tuberculosis to human health and the economy is difficult to simply assess. The characteristics of the epidemic of tuberculosis in my country are: high prevalence, high drug resistance rate, high death rate, high infection...

[0029] 1Materials and methods
[0030] 1.1 Research object
[0031] There were 200 confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis patients, of which 100 were HLA-A*0201 positive and 100 were HLA-A*0201 negative, all of which were examined by radiology and clinical sputum culture. 100 HLA-A*0201 positive patients with other chronic lung diseases were the disease control group, and 100 HLA-A*0201 positive healthy volunteers were the normal control group.
