Clinical Significance
The T-SPOT.TB test is an in vitro blood test for the diagnosis of active and latent TB. The test detects the immune response of T cells that have been stimulated by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) antigens by utilizing MTB-specific antigens (ESAT-6 and CFP 10) that are absent from BCG strains and most non-tuberculosis mycobacteria.
