Immunological detection method and detection kit for Mycobacterium tuberculosis group

摘要

The conventional detection method for Mycobacterium tuberculosis group takes a long time and requires a great deal of labor and cost, so that a definite diagnosis of tuberculosis and early treatment start cannot be performed, and a rapid detection method is provided. Was desired. In direct detection from a biological sample, if MPT64 is not present or very small in the biological sample, it cannot be detected. There was a need for a new detection method. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] By subjecting a biological sample containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis group to heat treatment, the Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific group secreted protein, particularly MPB64, is secreted outside the bacterial body, and the obtained processed sample is subjected to immunological measurement. Provides a method and a kit for detecting the Mycobacterium tuberculosis more quickly and easily without culturing a biological sample. [Selection figure] None
