Additionally, following stimulation with HBHA, IL-10 production from CD4+ T cells was significantly elevated in patients with active TB compared to those with LTBI (p= 0.0038), while CD4+ T cell production of IL-17 and IFN-γ was significantly elevated in LTBI compared to active TB (p= 0.0076, p< 0.0001, respectively). The gene discussed is IL10; the disease is tuberculosis.
