Ex vivo characterization of early secretory antigenic target 6–specific T cells at sites of active disease in pleural tuberculosis
Presence of early secretory antigenic target-6 (ESAT-6)—specific, interferon-γ—secreting T cells in blood accurately marks tuberculosis infection. In tuberculous pleural effusions from 10 patients with tuberculosis, these cells were concentrated a mean of 15-fold (standard deviation, ±6-fold), relat...
