Next we examined the changes in plasma expression of measured analytes (LBP, sMAdCAM, sICAM, sVCAM, TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3) from active TB to post TB/cure in HIV infected (n= 38) and HIV uninfected (n = 33) participants from the IMPRESS study. This evidence concerns the gene TGFB3 and tuberculosis.
