One-fourth of the world's population has been infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.
tb). Although interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) have been shown to be valid …

Cytotoxic molecules such as granulysin, perforin and granzymes produced by cytolytic T
cells directly contribute to immune defense against tuberculosis (TB). In search for novel TB …

Background More efficient and convenient diagnostic method is a desperate need to reduce
the burden of tuberculosis (TB). This study explores the multiple cytokines secretion based …

We have explored the added value of interferon-γ (IFNγ)–inducible protein 10 as a read-out
of Mycobacterium tuberculosis–specific immunity in young Indian children, where the …

Borderline interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) results (near the cut-off level 0.35 IU/ml) occur in
QuantiFERON (QFT) assays. We investigated the performance of alternative biomarkers for …

Coxiella burnetii, a Gram-negative intracellular bacterium, can give rise to Q fever in humans
and is transmitted mainly by inhalation of infected aerosols from animal reservoirs. Serology …

Abstract Treatment efficacy is difficult to evaluate in extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB)
patients. Interferon-γ inducible protein (IP-) 10 has been suggested as a biomarker for …

T cells are key players in the resolution of the infection by SARS-CoV-2. A delay in their
activation can lead to severe COVID-19. The present work aimed to identify differences in …

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive system. An
anticancer bioactive peptide (ACBP) was previously shown to have an important role in …
