- DIAGNOSTIC REAGENTS FOR IMPROVED IN VIVO OR IN VITRO CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF TUBERCULOSIS

摘要

The present invention discloses an in vitro and in vivo diagnostic method for tuberculosis detection with enhanced specificity and sensitivity. Although the diagnostic reagents of the present invention can replace the previous mixture/cocktail/pool of antigens comprising ESAT-6, the inclusion of ESAT6 further improves the diagnosis.
