This is an assay combining two methods which are indirect ELISA and dot immunogold filtration assay (DIGFA), intended for the qualitative detection of biologically active specific IgG antibodies to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in human serum or plasma specimens, acting as an important aid in the diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a pathogenic bacterial species in the genus Mycobacterium and the pathogen of most cases of tuberculosis (TB).
Globally, the TB disease is an enormous problem. TB is the world’s most significant infectious disease from a single infection agent.
Hence, the early screening and detection of MTB infection is of great benefit to the control of this disease.
