  • Antibody profiles characteristic of tuberculosis state
    Publication number: 20070026473
    Abstract: Serum antibody assays capable of distinguishing cases of inactive TB from cases of active TB include a combination at least three M. tuberculosis protein antigens, at least one for which a positive response is consistent with inactive TB and antigens, and at least one for which a negative response is consistent with inactive TB. Preferred assays further distinguish other TB classes. Also, antigen kits for performing such assays.
