Diagnosis of tuberculosis infection using interferon-γ-based assays.
Interferon-γ-based assays, collectively known as IFN-γ release assays (IGRAs), have emerged as a reliable alternative to the old tuberculin skin test (TST) for the immunodiagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) infection. The 2 commercially available tests, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), QuantiFERON-TB Gold Intube (QFT-IT), and the enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISPOT), T-SPOT.TB, are ...
متن کاملInterferon- as an immunotherapeutic protein
Interferon(IFN) has proven to be a clinically effective antiviral and antineoplastic therapeutic drug for more than 16 years. During this time, evidence from in vitro laboratory studies and the clinical arena has supported the concept that IFNis an immunotherapeutic drug. By regulating a diverse set of cytokines and their receptors, IFNis uniquely positioned to prime the host immune response an...
متن کاملInterferon-γ Regulates the Death of M. tuberculosis-Infected Macrophages
We previously described a caspase-independent death induced in macrophages by a high intracellular burden of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). This death, with features of apoptosis and necrosis, releases viable bacilli for spreading infection. Interferon (IFN)-γ promotes survival of macrophages with a low intracellular Mtb load by inhibiting bacterial replication. Macrophages in naïve hosts ar...
متن کاملLack of a therapeutic role for interferon γ in patients with tuberculosis.
TO THE EDITOR—I read with interest the recent article by Wong and Jacobs on the effects of interferon γ (IFN-γ) on Mycobacterium tuberculosis–infected macrophages [1]. I believe their findings are an important contribution to our understanding of the human biology of M. tuberculosis infection. However, I must take issue with their speculation that their work is likely to enable future therapeut...
