Immunologic lab diagnosis of TB
• Based on measurement of body’s immune responses to MTB antigens.

1. Tuberculin Skin Test “TST”
![Page 8: Immunological Lab Diagnosis of Tuberculosis](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d3111a28ab9b029cb985/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Tuberculin skin test…TST
• Routine diagnostic method for TB
• Based on delayed type hypersensitivity rx.
• PPD “purified protein derivative” antigen
• Dose of tuberculin is 5TU = 0.0001 mg PPD
• Test for exposure to MTB• Can’t differentiate between active disease
or latent infection

1. 0.1 ml of PPD is injected intradermal

2. Examine after 48-72 hr from injection

3. Interpret result by measuring induration

Interpretation of TST
• Skin test interpretations depends on 2 factors:1. Measurement of induration in mm2. Person’s risk of being infected with TB

Drawbacks of TST
![Page 18: Immunological Lab Diagnosis of Tuberculosis](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d3111a28ab9b029cb985/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Gamma Interferon Release Assays“IGRAs”
• Measure how the immune system reacts to MTB. • IGRAs are the preferred method of TB
infection testing for the following:• People who have received Bacille Calmette–
Guérin (BCG).• People who have a difficult time returning for a
second appointment to look for a reaction to the TST.
• There is no problem with repeated IGRAs.

Gamma Interferon Release Assays“IGRAs”
2 FDA approved & commercially available tests:
1. Enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISpot or T-spot TB test)
2. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube assay).

Gamma Interferon Release Assays“IGRAs”
• Both have high sensitivity and high specificity• But still can’t differentiate between active & latent
TB
• use of antigens encoded by Regions of Difference 1 (RD1) in the MTB genome, which is absent in BCG vaccination or NTB.
• Among the nine antigens encoded by RD1:• Early Secreted Antigenic Target 6kDa (ESAT-6) and • Culture Filtrate Protein 10kDa (CFP-10) are used as a stimulatory antigens.

ADVANTAGES OF IGRA
• Requires a single patient visit to conduct the test• Results can be available within 24 hours• Dose not boost responses measured by
subsequent tests• Prior BCG vaccination dose not cause a false
positive IGRA test results

DISADVANTAGES OF IGRA
• Blood samples must be processed within 8-30 hr after collection while blood cell still viable• Errors in collecting or transporting blood
specimens or in running and interpretation the assay can decrease accuracy of the test• Limited data on the use of the IGRA to predict
who will progress to TB disease in the future• Tests may be expensive

HIV/TB COINFECTION
• Rare lethal combination
• Urgent issue in global health
• Leading cause of mortality among HIV patients.
• HIV weakens immune system leading to false negative results
• HIV virus can weaken the immune system, LTBI can be activated resulting in pulmonary or extrapulmonary TB.

ALS ASSAY
![Page 31: Immunological Lab Diagnosis of Tuberculosis](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d3111a28ab9b029cb985/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
ALS ASSAY
• Antibodies from Lymphocyte Secretion or Antibody in Lymphocyte Supernatant or ALS Assay is an immunological assay to detect active diseases like tuberculosis, cholera, typhoid etc.
![Page 32: Immunological Lab Diagnosis of Tuberculosis](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d3111a28ab9b029cb985/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
ALS ASSAY
Procedure:• PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cell) were
separated from blood by differential centrifugation• PBMCs were suspended in 24-well tissue culture
plates culture medium.• Different dilutions of PBMCs were incubated at
37°C with 5% CO2. • Culture supernatants were collected at 24, 48, 72,
and 96 h after incubation and the supernatants were test against PPD by ELISA. • The ELISA titer indicates the positive or negative
result.

ALS ASSAY
• Advantages:• High Sensitivity >93 %.• Early detection of active TB.• This method does not require a specimen taken
from the site of disease; it also may be useful in diagnosis of childhood TB.• Secreted antibody may be preserved for long
time for further analysis

FULL BLOOD COUNT
![Page 35: Immunological Lab Diagnosis of Tuberculosis](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d3111a28ab9b029cb985/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
FULL BLOOD COUNT
• Full blood count is never diagnostic but normocytic anemia and lymphopenia are common.
• Neutrophilia is rarely found [iron deficiency anemia may develop with isoniazid treatment].
• Urea and electrolytes are usually normal, although hypocalcaemia and hypernatremia are possible in tuberculous meningoencephalitis due to SIADH (syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion).
• In advanced disease: hypoalbuminemia, hyperproteinemia, and hyperglobulinemia may be present.
• Erythrocyte sedimentation rate is usually raised.

ROLE OF T REG CELLS IN DIAGNOSIS
![Page 37: Immunological Lab Diagnosis of Tuberculosis](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d3111a28ab9b029cb985/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
ROLE OF T REG CELLS IN DIAGNOSIS
• Immunosuppressive regulatory T-cells (T-Regs) and CD4+ T-lymphocytes in general are important in the host immune response to LTBI.• T-Regs down regulate the immune system to
prevent excessive immune responses which may eventually lead to autoimmune disease and immunopathology.• Activated T-Regs as they limit host immunity
they can inhibit pathogen clearance hence facilitating pathogen multiplication and dissemination.

ROLE OF T REG CELLS IN DIAGNOSIS
• Treg cells were able to suppress IFN γ and IL-10 production in TB patients. This mechanism is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of human TB .• Treg cell expansion is believed to predispose or
be a marker of the progression of latent TB to active disease.• Method: Cryo-preserved peripheral blood
mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were used to determine the number and phenotypic markers of T-Regs using multi-color flow cytometry.
