I-309, IL-8 and MIG over-expression is stimulated by Mtb antigens (ESAT-6 and CFP-10) in active TB.

Abstract

<p>Expression of I-309 (A), IL-8 (B), and MIG (C) induced by PBS or specific TB antigens in whole blood displayed a gradual increase from health controls (n = 80) to individuals with LTBI (n = 45), to those with active TB (n = 80). Mean values ± standard error are shown, *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01 (Student’s <i>t</i>-test).</p
