摘要

Recently, the so-called dormancy regulon of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was identified. Comprised of 48 genes, protein expression is noted in vitro during hypoxia and low-dose nitric oxide stimulation. Tubercle bacilli are thought to encounter these conditions in vivo during the onset of immune responses and during subsequent persistence in immune competent hosts. In this study, human immune responses to the 25 most strongly induced dormancy regulon-encoded proteins or candidate latency antigens were assessed, using M. tuberculosis specific T cell lines and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from M. tuberculosis infected persons, including tuberculosis (TB) patients and latently infected individuals, as well as uninfected controls. Nineteen of the 25 tested antigens were recognized by PBMC from M. tuberculosis infected individuals, which demonstrates that the dormancy regulon is indeed expressed during natural M. tuberculosis infection in humans. Interestingly, IFN-gamma production in response to the entire group of latency antigens was significantly higher in latently infected individuals than in TB patients (P < .01). In particular, four antigens were able to induce strong IFN- gamma responses in latently infected individuals. Overall, latency antigens are preferentially recognized by T cells from individuals with latent M. tuberculosis infection suggesting that immune responses against these antigens contribute to controlling latent infection.
