ABSTRACT:
Serum antibody assays capable of distinguishing cases of inactive TB from cases of active TB include a combination of at least threeM. tuberculosisprotein antigens, at least one for which a positive response is consistent with inactive TB and at least one for which a negative response is consistent with inactive TB. Preferred assays further distinguish other TB classes. Also, antigen kits for performing such assays.
