Controlling latent TB tuberculosis infection in high-burden countries: A neglected strategy to end TB.

ABSTRACT: In a Perspective, Gavin Churchyard and Sue Swindells discuss the importance of strategies to target latent tuberculosis infection in high risk populations and thus disrupt a reservoir for new infections in high burden countries.

Analysis of the microRNA that involved the tuberculosis or latent TB infection

Project description:To get to know the different levels of the microRNA among the pulmonary tuberculosis patients, latent-infected individuals and the complete healthy people, we have employed the Agilent miRNA microarray (version 2.0) as a discovery platform to identify microRNA with the potential to diagnose the TB patients and the latent infected persons. Each group have 4 volunteers. The Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) of each group were made up of equally mixed volumes. The results showed that several microRNAs were found up- or low regulated in PBMCs of TB patients versus latent-infected individuals and similarly for latent-infected individuals versus complete healthy ones. Each group have 4 volunteers. The PBMCs of each group were made up of equally mixed volumes after being purified.

Project description:To get to know the different levels of the microRNA among the pulmonary tuberculosis patients, latent-infected individuals and the complete healthy people, we have employed the Agilent miRNA microarray (version 2.0) as a discovery platform to identify microRNA with the potential to diagnose the TB patients and the latent infected persons. The Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) of each group were made up of equally mixed quantity of 3 volunteers. The results showed that several microRNAs were found up- or low regulated in PBMCs of TB patients versus latent-infected individuals and similarly for latent-infected individuals versus complete healthy ones.

RNA-seq of Human Tuberculosis (TB) in active TB patients, contacts with latent infection and uninfected contacts

Project description:Whole-blood RNA from active TB patients and their contacts (uninfected and with latent infection) was sequenced to study the different gene expression profile on each group. Differentially expressed genes could be used as potential diagnostic tools and provide information of the spectrum of TB disease.
