Abstract Free lipids were extracted from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, and their antigenicity was assessed directly on thin-layer chromatograms (TLC) by an immunostaining technique. A family of glycolipids, composed of trehalose acylated with multimethyl branched long-chain fatty acids, was investigated. The most polar of these glycolipids was identified as a possible specific surface antigen. A pair of novel polar glycolipids also showed positive antigenic reactions.
