Protein cocktailc | >1 | 73.6 | 100 | 0.882 | 0.791-0.974 |
Sensitivity determined by using naturally infected “reactor” cattle with diseased confirmed by SICCT (n = 34).
Specificity determined by using disease-free BCG-vaccinated calves (n = 20).
Protein cocktail comprised of 10 μg of ESAT-6, CFP-10, MPB70, and MPB83.
CI, confidence interval.
