Popis: Previous reports have identified interleukin-2 (IL-2), quantified in the supernatants of QuantiFERON(®)-TB Gold In-tube (QFT) after 72 h of incubation, as a potential biomarker for distinguishing between latent and active tuberculosis (TB). However, its validity has not been tested in an appropriate clinical cohort.
