Summary:The invention provides an antigen composition used for immunodetection of a tuberculosis infected cell. The antigen composition comprises a mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv3873 antigen and/or antigen epitope peptides derived from the antigen. In an optimized embodiment, the antigen composition comprises all the antigen epitope peptides contained in the mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv3873 antigen. The invention also provides an application of the antigen composition to preparation of detection reagents used for detecting specific T cell immune response caused by tuberculosis infection in vitro. After lymphocytes of human or animals are stimulated by the antigen composition, cell factors secreted by a tuberculosis specific T cell are detected.
