Validating the Use of Blood Transcriptomic Signatures for the Diagnosis of Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis

ISIT-TB Prototype is a diagnostic assay based on a transcriptional blood signature suggestive of the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

This device will be investigated for use as a screening tool to facilitate diagnosis of ATB in conjunction with risk assessment, clinical context and diagnostic information. Whole blood samples will be collected in Tempus™ Blood RNA Tubes and processed on an automatized platform. The detection of a combination of under or over-expressed selected genes, constituting a transcriptional signature, will allow the characterization of ATB.
