DOI: 10.1183/1393003.congress-2017.pa3039

Abstract: Introduction: It would be important to identify subjects at risk to develop tuberculosis (TB) disease. RD1-based Interferon-γ Release Assays (IGRAs) cannot distinguish latent from active TB disease. Conversely, a positive response to HBHA-based IGRAs, among… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences"

DOI: 10.22038/ijbms.2018.24280.6064

Abstract: Objective(s): Heparin-binding hemagglutinin (HBHA), a mycobacterial cell surface protein, mediates adhesion to nonphagocytic cells and the dissemination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) from the site of primary infection. Superior expression systems are required to obtain… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.842604

Abstract: Active tuberculosis (aTB) remains a major killer from infectious disease, partially due to delayed diagnosis and hence treatment. Classical microbiological methods are slow and lack sensitivity, molecular techniques are costly and often unavailable. Moreover, available… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Frontiers in Immunology"

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2025.1596568

Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), remains one of the most significant global health challenges exacerbated by latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Heparin-binding hemagglutinin (HBHA), a virulence factor of Mtb, plays a critical role in… read more here.
