摘要
We have explored the added value of interferon-gamma (IFN gamma)-inducible protein 10 as a read-out of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific immunity in young Indian children, where the sensitivity of the IFN gamma release assays for tuberculosis is poor. Reduced frequency of indeterminate results and an increased sensitivity for tuberculosis suggest a potential for fewer missed cases with a combined IFN gamma/inducible protein 10 read-out in a 4th generation IFN gamma release assays.
