IFN-γ levels were significantly different in (1) MB vs EC when stimulated with ML89(AUC = 0.6664); (2) PB vs TB when stimulated with ML2044 and ML2028(AUC = 0.7549 and 0.7372, respectively); (3) post-MDT vs TB when stimulated with LID-1(AUC = 0.8347); (4) HHC vs TB when stimulated with LID-1(AUC = 0.6834); and (5) EC vs TB when stimulated with LID-1, ML89, ML2044 and ML2028(AUC = 0.8211, 0.8152, 0.7830, and 0.7361, respectively)(Fig 3, Table 8). The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is tuberculosis.
