    Abstract:
    The paper presents the results of studying the time course of changes in tuberculosis antibodies by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and immune blotting (IB) in 34 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. In 76.5% of cases, EIA were established to reveal tuberculosis antibodies whose concentration is most pronounced in lung tissue destruction. The detection rate of specific antibodies to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT) structural components by IB was 100%, which was 23.6% greater than that by EIA. The MBT structural components with a molecular weight of 11-20, 21-30, and 101-160 kDa were found to have high immunogenic properties, as suggested by the maximum levels of antibodies and by the marked antigenic proteins of proteins with a molecular weight of 11-20, 21-30, and 41-50 kDa, which showed itself as the generation of the maximum levels of circulating immune complexes with antigens of this specificity.
