Determining Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection among BCG-immunised Ugandan children by T-SPOT.TB and tuberculin skin testing. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Children with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) represent a huge reservoir for future disease. We wished to determine Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection prevalence among BCG-immunised five-year-old children in Entebbe, Uganda, but

Using ELISPOT to expose false positive skin test conversion in tuberculosis contacts.

PLoS ONE, 2007
BackgroundRepeat tuberculin skin tests may be false positive due to boosting of waned immunity to past mycobacterial exposure. We evaluated whether an ELISPOT test could identify tuberculosis (TB) contacts with boosting of immunity to non-tuberculous ...

Transcriptional profiling of innate and adaptive human immune responses to mycobacteria in the tuberculin skin test [PDF]

, 2011
The tuberculin skin test (TST) is a model of integrated innate and adaptive human immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but the component processes that are involved in this model have not previously been defined in vivo.

A preliminary assessment of new bovine and avian tuberculin in cattle by intra-dermal tests and whole blood interferon gamma assay

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2016
The present study reports ante-mortem diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis employing tuberculin test using a new tuberculin PPDB (M. bovis, 3/86) and interferon gamma assay in cattle whole blood culture stimulated using a commercial bovine IFN- γ assay kit.

Assessment of defined antigen cocktails for sero-diagnosis of tuberculosis [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Medical Research, 2010
To achieve a better diagnostic assay for the bovine tuberculosis, antigen cocktail composed of Ag85; rESAT-6 and rMPB-70 protein antigens were compared to the bovine tuberculin using ELISA test.

Temporal dynamics of intradermal cytokine response to tuberculin in Mycobacterium bovis BCG-vaccinated cattle using sampling microneedles

Scientific Reports, 2021
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a disease of livestock with severe and worldwide economic, animal welfare and zoonotic consequences. Application of test-and-slaughter-based control polices reliant on tuberculin skin testing has been the mainstay of bTB ...
