Preparation of 14C-labeled tuberculin purified protein derivative. 1967

S Landi, and H R Held, and A H Hauschild, and R Hilsheimer

(14)C-labeled tuberculin purified protein derivative ((14)C-tuberculin PPD) has been prepared from culture filtrates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. hominis grown in a culture medium containing uniformly labeled (14)C-amino acids. With a mixture of (14)C-amino acids (an acid hydrolysate of (14)C-Chlorella protein) in the medium, the recoveries of (14)C in the final product were higher than with (14)C-labeled-l-glutamic acid. (14)C-tuberculin PPD was separated into tuberculoprotein and nucleic acid by paper electrophoresis. The specific radioactivity of tuberculoprotein was substantially greater than that of the nucleic acid. (14)C-tuberculin PPD is advocated as a means to measure the adsorption of tuberculin to glass or other surfaces. It could also prove useful as a means to study the structure and mode of action of tuberculin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009169 Mycobacterium tuberculosis A species of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria that produces TUBERCULOSIS in humans, other primates, CATTLE; DOGS; and some other animals which have contact with humans. Growth tends to be in serpentine, cordlike masses in which the bacilli show a parallel orientation. Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein. Gene Products, Protein,Gene Proteins,Protein,Protein Gene Products,Proteins, Gene
D002247 Carbon Isotopes Stable carbon atoms that have the same atomic number as the element carbon but differ in atomic weight. C-13 is a stable carbon isotope. Carbon Isotope,Isotope, Carbon,Isotopes, Carbon
