Identification of biomarkers for tuberculosis disease using a novel dual-color RT–MLPA assay

Owing to our lack of understanding of the factors that constitute protective immunity during natural infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ), there is an urgent need to identify host biomarkers that predict long-term outcome of infection in the absence of therapy. Moreover, the identificat...
