Correlation between Serum and Plasma Antibody Titers to Mycobacterial Antigens

Correlation between Serum and Plasma Antibody Titers to Mycobacterial Antigens The ability to utilize serum or plasma samples interchangeably is useful for tuberculosis (TB) serology. We demonstrate a strong correlation between antibody titers to several mycobacterial antigens in serum versus plasma from HIV-infected and non-HIV-infected TB and non-TB patients ( r = 0.99 to 0.89; P < 0.0001). Plasma and serum can be used interchangeably in the same antibody detection assays. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Clinical and Vaccine Immunology American Society For Microbiology
