Materials and Methods Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The M tuberculosis strains used in this
study were obtained from the Trudeau Myco-bacterial Culture Collection (TMC; National
Jewish Hospital, Denver). The two variants were similar except for their virulence in guinea
pigs. H37Rv (TMC-102), the viru-lent strain, and H37Ra (TMC-201), the avirulent strain,
were cultured in Middlebrook 7H9 broth (Difco, Detroit) with 0.05 ofo (wt/vol) Tween 80 and
10^ o OADC (oleic acid, albumin [bovine], dextrose, catalase [bovine]) enrichment
