Description

T-SPOT.TB is an in vitro diagnostic test to detect if a patient has an immunological response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of M. tuberculosis infection. This test evaluates the number of T cells that respond to stimulation (detected by interferon-gamma production) and provides a measurement of the abundance of M. tuberculosis sensitive effector T cells in the peripheral blood.
