A method for diagnosing an active Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection by detecting certain RNA biomarkers present in secreted extracellular vesicles isolated from a bodily fluid. The RNA biomarkers in the secreted extracellular vesicles may include a certain Mycobacterium RNAs as well as certain host cell RNAs. Also provided is an RNA signature of certain Mycobacterium and host cell RNA present in secreted extracellular vesicles indicative of an active tuberculosis infection.
一种通过检测从体液中分离出来的分泌性细胞外囊泡中存在的某些 RNA
生物标记物来诊断活动性结核分枝杆菌感染的方法。分泌的细胞外囊泡中的 RNA
生物标志物可包括某些分枝杆菌 RNA 和某些宿主细胞 RNA。此外,还提供了分泌性细胞外囊泡中存在的某些分枝杆菌和宿主细胞 RNA 的 RNA 标志,表明结核病感染处于活跃期。
