• Human T cell epitopes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are evolutionarily hyperconserved (2010, unknown): “…are conserved, our finding that this particular vaccine antigen harbours a comparatively high number of amino acid substitutions across a panel of global MTBC isolates, suggests that strain diversity should be considered during further development of the new vaccine candidates containing esxH 8 .”
