Development of an improved ESAT-6 and CFP-10 peptide-based cytokine flow cytometric assay for bovine tuberculosis

Highlights • We developed an improved cytokine flow cytometric assay for bovine tuberculosis. • IFN-γ detected in whole blood cultures in infected cattle 6 h post stimulation. • Using ESAT-6/CFP10 in the assay improved both sensitivity and specificity. • Responding cells were CD45R0+CD69+CD4+ memory...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We developed an improved cytokine flow cytometric assay for bovine tuberculosis. • IFN-γ detected in whole blood cultures in infected cattle 6 h post stimulation. • Using ESAT-6/CFP10 in the assay improved both sensitivity and specificity. • Responding cells were CD45R0+CD69+CD4+ memory T cells. • The assay provides a new opportunity to track the immune response.
