BIOANALYSIS AND PEPTIDES USED IN SAID BIOANALYSIS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC C07K7/08 C07K16/12 G01N33/569 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention discloses peptides for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which consist of less than 18 amino acids and are capable of binding with the antibody against GRDIKVQFQSGGNNSPAV peptide (all sequences are given in a list of sequences). One of the peptides contains an NSPAX sequence, where X denotes methionine. More preferably, the peptides contain an NNSPAV sequence or have the type SGGNNSPAX, where X denotes methionine, leucine, alanine or valine. The invention describes a nucleotide sequence which codes the disclosed peptides, as well as an antibody or fragment thereof, capable of binding with said peptide. The invention discloses methods of detecting M.tuberculosis, involving ELISA substitutive analysis of a sample using a peptide capable of binding with the antibody against GRDIKVQFQSGGNNSPAV peptide or using the antidody.

EFFECT: use of the invention simplifies tests to determine anti-tuberculosis antibodies in a population owing to the artificially modified peptide sequences of T-cell epitope Ag85B M tuberculosis.
