General information
T-Track® TB is a qualitative diagnostic test, suitable for screenings, to determine TB-specific reactivity of T-cells. Based on a patented technology, this RT-qPCR-based test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of M. tuberculosis infection (including active disease). The T-Track® TB assay consists of two diagnostic kits:
- T-Track® TB Stimulation: Stimulation of TB-specific immune cells, via incubation with TB antigens, followed by stabilization of RNA.
- T-Track® TB Quant PCR: Measurement of the relative expression of specific classification markers via reverse transcription and quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Software based analysis.
Differential expression levels of the classification markers in stimulated and unstimulated blood samples may indicate an infection with M. tuberculosis. Results must be interpreted within the context of all relevant clinical and laboratory findings.
T-Track® TB: T-cell assay for improved diagnostics
- CE-marked IVD RT-qPCR product
- Aid in the diagnosis of M. tuberculosis infection (including active disease)
- Highly sensitive, patented technology: Including a marker also for the early phase of infection
- Measurement and analysis of the relative expression of the specific markers IFNG and CXCL10, after in vitro stimulation of immune cells with the TB antigens ESAT-6 und CFP-10
- Easy handling, standardized and semi-automated processing
- Software based analysis
