To elucidate the TB antigen-stimulated cytokine levels in cases and controls, we estimated the production of GM-CSF, IL-2, IL-10, IL-13, IL-18, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-6, IL-12p70, IL-17A, and TNF-α at pre-treatment (Figure 2A); IL-1α, IL-5, and IL-1β (Supplementary Figure 2C) at month 2 of ATT (Figure 2B); and IL-1α, IL-5, and IL-1β (Supplementary Figure 2D). This evidence concerns the gene CSF2 and tuberculosis.
