Red Spectral Shift in Sensitive Colorimetric Detection of Tuberculosis by ESAT-6 Antigen-Antibody Complex: a New Strategy with Gold Nanoparticle

Red Spectral Shift in Sensitive Colorimetric Detection of Tuberculosis by ESAT-6 Antigen-Antibody Complex: a New Strategy with Gold Nanoparticle

Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly contagious life-threatening disease caused by the bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. ESAT-6, an abundant early secretory antigenic target protein by M. tuberculosis, found to play a vital role in virulence. Developing a friendly method for the detec...
