Human tuberculosis (TB) has become a global disease with its re-emergence in the Western countries in the last decades. According to WHO, more than 30% of the world’s population is estimated to be infected with the TB bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB is predominantly a disease of the respiratory tract, but can also affect other organs. People who are suffering from active pulmonary tuberculosis are highly infectious. TB kills yearly about 2 million people.
Although, the TB bacterium was identified more than 100 years ago, the diagnostic methods, which are currently available, suffer from high price, poor sensitivity and specificity and are time consuming. The diagnosis of TB is usually made based on a combination of several laboratory tests. The TUB IgG ELISA is suitable for the quantitative detection of human IgG antibodies to Mycobacterium tuberculosiswithin100 minutes. This test is an additional tool for rapid diagnosis of active tuberculosis(TB)using small amount of clinical sample.

Microtiter plate based Enzyme assay for the quantitative detection of human IgG antibodies to Mycobacterium tuberculosisin serum, plasma or cerebrospinal fluid(CSF). Intended for professional  use.

The diagnosis of TB is usually made based on a combination of several laboratory tests. The TUB IgA ELISA is suitable for the quantitative detection of human IgA antibodies to Mycobacterium tuberculosiswithin100 minutes. This test is an additional tool for rapid diagnosis of active tuberculosis(TB)using small amount of clinical sample.
