How Does Interferon-gamma Work In An IGRA TB Test? - Tuberculosis Disease Guide

How Does Interferon-gamma Work In An IGRA TB Test? Have you ever wondered how the immune system detects tuberculosis infection? In this informative video, we'll explain how the IGRA blood test works to identify TB exposure. You'll learn about the role of interferon-gamma, a signaling molecule that indicates immune response to TB bacteria. We'll discuss how the test uses specific TB proteins, such as ESAT-6 and CFP-10, which are unique to the bacteria and not found in the BCG vaccine or most environmental bacteria. This makes the test more accurate, especially for vaccinated individuals. We'll also cover how the test measures the amount of interferon-gamma released by immune cells, providing a clear indication of whether the immune system has encountered TB before. Additionally, you'll discover why the IGRA test is considered a safe, quick, and reliable method for TB screening. Whether you're concerned about TB or seeking more information about diagnostic methods, this video offers straightforward explanations to help you understand how interferon-gamma functions as a marker for TB infection. Remember, if you suspect you might have TB or are at risk, always consult a healthcare professional for proper testing and guidance.
