The invention relates to the nucleic acid sequence and amino acid sequence of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) from mycobacteria and to expression of recombinant DHFR protein. Utilizing the recombinant protein, novel therapies and diagnostic strategies can be developed and selective antimycobacterial compositions can be designed and utilized to treat mycobacterial infections in patients. This invention includes all or portions of novel recombinant nucleic acids encoding DHFR for mycobacteria such as M. avium, to novel recombinant DHFR peptides produced by such sequences, and to vaccines, diagnostic kits, cells and therapies utilizing these peptides and nucleic acid sequences. The present invention relates to methods for using the sequences of the present invention to develop drugs specific to M. avium and other mycobacteria, to identify and sequence corresponding sequences in species other than M. avium, as well as diagnostic and treatment methods incorporating the disclosed sequences and peptides.

A invenção relaciona-se à seqüência do ácido nucleic e à seqüência do amino-ácido do reductase do dihydrofolate (DHFR) dos mycobacteria e à expressão da proteína recombinant de DHFR. Utilizando a proteína recombinant, as terapias da novela e as estratégias diagnósticas podem ser desenvolvidas e as composições antimycobacterial seletivas podem ser projetadas e utilizado tratar infecções mycobacterial nos pacientes. Esta invenção inclui todos os ou parcelas ácidos nucleic recombinant da novela que codificam DHFR para mycobacteria tais como o avium do M., aos peptides recombinant da novela DHFR produzidos por tais seqüências, e às vacinas, aos jogos diagnósticos, às pilhas e às terapias utilizando estes peptides e seqüências do ácido nucleic. A invenção atual relaciona-se aos métodos para usar as seqüências da invenção atual desenvolver as drogas específicas ao avium do M. e aos outros mycobacteria, identificar e arranjar em seqüência seqüências correspondentes nas espécies à excepção do avium do M., as.well.as o diagnostic e os métodos de tratamento que incorporam as seqüências e os peptides divulgados.
