From: Response to M. tuberculosisselected RD1 peptides in Ugandan HIV-infected patients with smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis: a pilot study

Figure 1

A-B IFN-gamma ELISPOT response to antigens of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in HIV + subjects. A) Response to selected RD1 peptides and B) to RD1 proteins, are shown as spot-forming cells (SFC) per 106 PBMCs. Shaded symbols indicate individuals with tuberculosis (TB patients) and unshaded symbols indicate individuals without tuberculosis (No active TB). Horizontal lines indicate median values. The TB patient group had a significantly higher response to the sum of ESAT-6 and CFP-10 peptides compared with the group without active TB (p = 0.02).
