Abstract

ABSTRACT We demonstrated that not whole Mycobacterium tuberculosis but its particular antigens, hsp70 Mtb , hsp65 Mtb , and hsp16 Mtb , are present in lymph node tissues of patients with sarcoidosis (SA). hsp16 Mtb occurs in the early stage of SA, whereas hsp70 Mtb occurs in stage II of SA. hsp65 Mtb is highly expressed in the capillary vessels in lymph node tissues in patients with SA.
