| Cross-reactivity | This antisera recognized mannosylated Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell-wall antigens arabinomannan, lipoarabinomannan and the glycosylated recombinant protein Apa. The antisera also cross-reacted with mannans from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but did not react with phosphatidyl-inositol-di-mannoside or arabinogalactan from Mycobacteria |
| Proposed epitopes | The epitope was proposed to be oligomannosidic in nature |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This peptide mimotope can used as surrogate reagent for immunodiagnosis of tuberculosis |
