Abstract
⺠We present progress made in the field of PE/PPE proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. ⺠They potentially provide virulence and antigenic variation. ⺠Many of them are secretory or cell surface localized. ⺠Several are thought to be vaccine and serodiagnostic marker candidates. ⺠Their genes are scattered but mostly exist in operons or together with Esx gene clusters.
