Functional grouping and intercross of surface-exposed proteins identified in crude and NaOH-treated M. leprae. A Venn diagram illustrating overlap between surface proteins identified in NaOH-treated and crude M. leprae is shown. Proteins identified exclusively in the NaOH-treated bacilli, only in the crude bacilli, or simultaneously found in both samples were functionally classified according to the Leproma database (http://genolist.pasteur.fr/Leproma/). Functional categories are expressed in percentages. seqs, sequences.
