The T-SPOT.TB test is a unique, single visit tuberculosis blood test for tuberculosis setting new clinical standards of sensitivity and reliability.

The T-SPOT.TB test uses the enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) methodology to enumerate M. tuberculosis-sensitized T cells by capturing interferon-gamma in the vicinity of T cells from which it was secreted. When your test looks for signs of TB infection using T cells, it matters how many T cells you include. The T-SPOT.

2016年3月15日 · The T-SPOT.TB test is an in vitro diagnostic test for the detection of effector T cells that have been specifically activated by MTB antigens and is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of MTB infection.

The T-SPOT.TB test is a T cell based interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA), designed to enable accurate results across patient populations, even in patients with a weakened immune status. The T-SPOT.TB test separates T cells from whole blood and standardizes the number of these cells in each patient test well. The T-SPOT.
