Development of large-scale panel of TB patient urine and serum samples to serve as standards for detection of TB LAM in HIV-positive and negative presumptive TB patients
REFNo: HS1006ES

Primary:
•Estimate the sensitivity of the investigational urine LAM test for detection of culture-confirmed Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection among individuals with clinical signs and/or symptoms of TB.
•Examine the effect of HIV infection and CD4 cell level on sensitivity of these assays
•Compare the sensitivity of the existing FujiLAM and AlereLAM assays with new investigational LAM tests

Secondary:
•Use large-scale samples to compare the immunological properties of urinary LAM in different patients, and to perform structural analyses of the urinary LAM antigens
• Develop and distribute aliquots of characterized large-scale urine samples for standardization and optimization of a point-of-care format of the investigational urine LAM assay.
