An in vitro diagnostic test for the detection of effector T cells that have been specifically activated by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) antigens and is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) infection.
Overview
The T-SPOT.TB test is an in vitro diagnostic test for the detection of effector T cells that respond to stimulation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens and is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) infection. The T-SPOT.TB test is a simplified enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) method which enumerates individual TB-specific activated effector T cells.
The kit contains:
1x T-SPOT test plate
2x vial Panel A
2x vial Panel B
2x vial PHA control
1x vial Conjugate solution
1x bottle Substrate solution
Key features
The T-SPOT.TB test is designed for the detection of effector T cells that respond to stimulation by antigens specific for M. tuberculosis. The test enumerates individual activated TB-specific T cells. It is suitable for use with all patients at risk of LTBI or suspected of having TB disease, regardless of age, sex, ethnicity, therapy or immune status.1
