T Cell Reactivity against Mycolyl Transferase Antigen 85 of M. tuberculosis in HIV-TB Coinfected Subjects and in AIDS Patients Suffering from Tuberculosis and Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infections
Figure 4
Individual IFN- production (pg/mL) in PBMC in response to different antigens from tuberculin-positive (a) or tuberculin-negative (b) HIV-positive CDC-B subjects suffering from varicella zoster and/or candidiasis. A negative response was considered as less than mean 2SD of the IFN- production by PBMC from healthy tuberculin-positive (a) and tuberculin-negative (b) HIV-positive controls. The circle: subjects with varicella zoster and/or candidiasis (category B of the CDC classification). The grey rectangle: mean ± 2SD of the IFN- produced by PBMC from tuberculin-positive (a) and tuberculin-negative (b) HIV-positive controls.
