Characterisation of T cell specificity, functional, activation and memory profiles associated with QuantiFERON TB Gold conversion and reversion
Recent acquisition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection is associated with a higher risk of tuberculosis disease, compared with remote, asymptomatic infection. M.tb infection, defined by a positive tuberculin skin test (TST) and/or IFN--release assay [IGRA e.g. QuantiFERON TB GOLD (QFT)],...
