Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens are specific proteins derived from the tuberculosis (TB) bacterium, used in diagnostic tests to identify immune responses in individuals exposed to the pathogen. Tests such as the QuantiFERON-TB Gold and T-SPOT.TB measure the immune response to these antigens, helping to diagnose latent or active TB infection. Unlike traditional skin tests, antigen-based assays provide more accurate results, particularly in individuals who have been vaccinated with the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, and are essential for effective TB control and management.
