We compared the performance of the T-SPOT.TB assay with blood used within 0 to 3.5 h after collection (control) to its performance with blood stored for 0 to 3.5, 5 to 8, 18 to 21, or 31 to 33 h with the addition of T-Cell Xtend (experimental), using samples from 154 participants. The 95.4% concordance between paired specimens indicated that blood can be stored for up to 33 h prior to T-SPOT.TB testing.
我们比较了 T-SPOT.TB 检测使用采集后 0 至 3.5 小时内的新鲜血样(对照组)与采集后 0 至 3.5、5 至 8、18 至 21 或 31 至 33 小时添加 T-Cell Xtend 的血样(实验组)的检测性能,实验组样本来自 154 名参与者。配对样本的 95.4%一致性表明,T-SPOT.TB 检测前血液可最多储存 33 小时。
