ELISA validation of candidate biomarkers. (a) Validation of the 4 candidate protein biomarkers. Left panels: box plots showing that the signal intensities of the four candidate biomarkers are significantly higher in the ATB group than in the HC and LTBI control groups. Right panels: ROC curves. The sensitivity and specificity values obtained at the optimal cut off value are shown for each protein. (b) Performance of the top biomarker panel, comprised of Rv0934, Rv3881c, Rv1860, and Rv1827. Orange and light blue lines represent samples scored as positives and negatives, respectively. A sample was predicted as ATB positive when any of the four proteins in the panel was positive. The heatmap was drawn using the ‘pheatmap’ package (v1.0.12)23.
