Identification of novel T cell epitopes from efflux pumps of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

- This is the first report to identify CTL epitopes from the efflux pumps of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
- A novel T cell epitope identified from efflux pump Rv1410c could induce CTL response both in vitro and in vivo.
- The novel epitope identified could serve as candidate to the multivalent peptide vaccine against drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
