Similarly, when the diagnostic accuracies of the markers detected in the culture supernatants were evaluated by ROC curve analysis, ESAT-6/CFP-10-specific levels of 14 analytes (IL2, SCF, TRAIL, MIG, IL12-p40, b-NGF, MIF, TNF-β, IFN-α2, IFN-γ, IL3, IP10, LIF, IL2 Ra,) discriminated between NON-TB and active TB groups, with AUC ≥0.78. The gene discussed is IL3; the disease is tuberculosis.
