Laboratory assay overview
QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus is an in vitro diagnostic test using a peptide cocktail of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell antigens to stimulate cells in heparinized whole blood. Detection of interferon-gamma by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is used to identify in vitro responses to these peptide antigens that are associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus is an indirect test for M. tuberculosis infection (including disease) and is intended for use in conjunction with risk assessment, radiography, and other medical and diagnostic evaluations.
