Screening for Latent Tuberculosis Infection using Interferon-Gamma Release Assay Test among Healthcare Workers

Global Medical & Health Communication (GMHC), 2023
Healthcare workers (HCWs) represent a significant demographic for screening latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) due to their potential exposure to infectious patients. Tests based on immunology detection, such as the tuberculin skin test (TST) and the interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA), have been pivotal in diagnosing LTBI.

Biomimetic Nanovaccine Integrating Dendritic Cell Exosomes with Tumor Cell Membranes for Sustained Prophylaxis Against Glioblastoma

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We have developed DEX/GM, an all‐natural, personalizable hybrid vaccine designed by coating dendritic cell‐derived exosomes (DEX) onto tumor cell membranes (GM) for sustained prophylaxis against glioblastoma (GBM). ABSTRACT Glioblastoma (GBM), one of the most aggressive and lethal brain tumors, remains incurable with a poor clinical prognosis.

Antigen-Specific IP-10 Release Is a Sensitive Biomarker of Mycobacterium bovis Infection in Cattle. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The most widely used ante-mortem diagnostic tests for tuberculosis in cattle are the tuberculin skin test and the interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) release assay, both of which measure cell-mediated immune responses to Mycobacterium bovis infection.
