Longitudinal expression analysis during acquisition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in adolescents from South Africa. Longitudinal expression analysis during acquisition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in adolescents from South Africa

Time-course expression analysis profiling whole blood samples collected from healthy South African adolescents while monitoring their potential acquisition of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Overall design: Whole blood samples were collected in PAXgene tubes at multiple time points (6 months apart). Individuals were monitored for acquisition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by QFT positivity.
