Abstract:
The ability to utilize serum or plasma samples interchangeably is useful for tuberculosis (TB) serology. We demonstrate a strong correlation between antibody titers to several mycobacterial antigens in serum versus plasma from HIV-infected and non-HIV-infected TB and non-TB patients (r = 0.99 to 0.89; P < 0.0001). Plasma and serum can be used interchangeably in the same antibody detection assays.
