Although the levels of these markers were higher in the non TB cases in Rv0081 stimulated supernatants, higher levels of the markers were observed in the TB cases upon stimulation with the other DosR regulon-encoded antigens (Rv2032 and Rv1733c), and correlations between the four markers (IL-12p40, IL-10, IP-10, TNF-α) and IFN-γ were only significant for IL-12(p40) (r, 0.43; p, 0.02) in Rv2032 stimulated supernatants, and IP-10 (r, 0.5; p, <0.01) in Rv1737c stimulated supernatants. This evidence concerns the gene CXCL10 and tuberculosis.
