Interferon-gamma plasma levels in response to Mtb-specific antigens by non-diabetic and diabetic patients. Whole blood from study population was stimulated or not with Mtb-specific antigens (ESAT-6, CFP-10 and TB7.7) by using QuantiFERON-TB Gold in Tube (QFT-GIT) assay for 18- 24h at 37°C. A) IFN-g-Mtb-specific levels were compared among study population: (A) non-DM and pooled MD (T1D and T2D patients) or (B) non-DM, T1D and T2D. IFN-γ. Mtb-specific levels were determined by subtraction between Mtb-specific antigens minus control tube (Nil). Each dot represents an individual value. DM, Diabetes Mellitus; T1D, type-1 DM; T2D, type-2 DM.
