Sequences of the linear B cell epitopes synthesized for candidate proteins, positive and negative controls, molecular weights expected and observed in the immunoblotting assays.

E: expected molecular weight based on sequence (in kDa). O: observed molecular weight (kDa) in immunoblotting assays. *Proteins for which sera were already available and therefore did not undergo B cell prediction. aMonomer lengths do not include the cysteine and glycine (CG) residues added at the peptide's ends to enable polymerization. ND: no data are available for proteins that were not recognized in M. tuberculosis H37Rv TPS by the immune sera.
