Evidence for a highly conserved, immunoreactive lipid in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

A survey of the fractionated lipids of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv was conducted using rabbit antiserum raised to homologous and heterologous mycobacteria. One minor, highly apolar lipid was resolved by Florisil column chromatography, which reacted preferentially to anti-M. tuberculosis H37Rv r...
