Figure 1. Antigen dependent and mitogen induced absolute IFN-γ levels by QuantiFERON-TB® Gold In-tube test result in HIV-negative and HIV-positive patients respectively.

Figure 1

Horisontal lines represent medians. Dotted lines represent the applied cut-off values as recommended by the manufacturer: 0.35 IU/ml for antigen (ESAT-6, CFP-10, TB7.7) dependent IFN-γ production and 0.50 IU/ml for mitogen (PHA) induced IFN-γ production respectively. The assay is not able to quantify values above 10 IU/ml why values above this limit were assigned the value 10 IU/ml. No significant differences in median levels between HIV-positive and HIV-negative were observed.
