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.

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.
