ESAT6-Induced IFNγ and CXCL9 Can Differentiate Severity of Tuberculosis
BACKGROUND Protective responses against Mycobacterium tuberculosis are dependent on appropriate T cell and macrophage activation. Mycobacterial antigen six kDa early secreted antigenic target (ESAT6) and culture filtrate protein 10 (CFP10) can detect M. tuberculosis specific IFNgamma responses. However, most studies have been performed in non-endemic regions and to study pulmonary tuberculosis ...
متن کاملOral Immunogenicity of Plant-Made Mycobacterium tuberculosis ESAT6 and CFP10
Two lines of transgenic carrot plants producing Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins (ESAT6 and CFP10) have been constructed. The target proteins are present in carrot storage roots at a level not less than 0.056% of the total storage protein (TSP) for ESAT6 and 0.002% of TSP for CFP10. As has been shown, oral immunization of mice induces both the cell-mediated and humoral immunities. These data...
متن کاملDifferential live Mycobacterium tuberculosis-, M. bovis BCG-, recombinant ESAT6-, and culture filtrate protein 10-induced immunity in tuberculosis.
The high prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis makes it imperative that immune responses to evaluate could be predictive of infection. We investigated live Mycobacterium- and recombinant antigen-induced cytokine and chemokine responses in patients with active tuberculosis (TB) compared with those of healthy controls from an area where TB is endemic (ECs). M. tuberculosis-, M. bovis BCG-, ESA...
متن کاملCan Interferon-Gamma or Interferon-Gamma-Induced-Protein-10 Differentiate Tuberculosis Infection and Disease in Children of High Endemic Areas?
BACKGROUND Diagnosis of childhood tuberculosis (TB) is difficult in high TB burden settings. Interferon-gamma-induced protein 10 (IP10) has been suggested as a marker of TB infection and disease, but its ability to differentiate the two conditions remains uncertain. OBJECTIVES To describe Interferon-gamma (INFγ) and IP10 expression in children with TB infection and disease and controls to ass...
متن کاملHigh levels of interferon-gamma (IFNγ) in macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) and CXCL9 levels as a biomarker for IFNγ production in MAS
Objectives Given the similarities between primary and secondary HLH (sec-HLH), including MAS, we measured levels of IFNg, IFNg-related chemokines (CXCL9, CXCL10, CXLC11), and IL-6 in patients with sec-HLH, and in patients with systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA) with or without MAS at sampling and evaluated their relation to disease activity. In addition, we evaluated the correlation ...
