What Do T-cells Tell Us In An IGRA TB Test? - Tuberculosis Disease Guide
What Do T-cells Tell Us In An IGRA TB Test? Have you ever wondered how our immune system detects tuberculosis infection? In this informative video, we'll explain how T-cells communicate with the immune system during a TB test. We'll start by describing what T-cells are and their role in immune response. We'll discuss how the IGRA test uses specific proteins called antigens to identify if the immune system has encountered the bacteria that cause tuberculosis. You'll learn how T-cells respond by releasing a signaling protein called interferon-gamma, which helps determine if someone has been exposed to TB. We’ll also cover how this response is measured and what the results mean for diagnosis. Additionally, we'll compare the IGRA test with the traditional skin test, highlighting the advantages and limitations of each. Whether you're a healthcare professional or someone interested in understanding TB testing, this video provides clear explanations of how T-cells inform us about TB exposure. Remember, a positive test indicates exposure but does not confirm active disease, so further medical evaluation is always necessary.
