Mitogen Value
What's
Mitogen Value
?
The QuantiFERON Mitogen Value is part of the QuantiFERON-TB test, acting as a positive control. It measures the immune system's response to a non-specific stimulant (mitogen) to ensure the immune system is capable of responding. This value is vital for confirming the test's validity, indicating that a lack of response to TB antigens is truly indicative of the absence of a tuberculosis infection and not due to an overall impaired immune response.
If Your Levels Are High
An elevated QuantiFERON Mitogen Value suggests a heightened immune response, potentially indicating an immune system hyperreactivity or an error in test administration. It ensures the immune system's ability to respond is intact.
Symptoms of High Levels
Symptoms of high levels of QuantiFERON Mitogen Value are not relevant, as it assesses immune responsiveness.
If Your Levels are Low
Low levels for the QuantiFERON Mitogen Value might indicate an immunocompromised state or a potential issue with test performance, reflecting on the immune system's capacity to respond rather than a specific disease.
Symptoms of Low Levels
Symptoms of low levels of QuantiFERON Mitogen Value are not applicable, as it is a measure of immune function.

QuantiFERON®-TB Gold Plus, 1 Tube - This test is a blood-based interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) used as an aid in the diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. It is an immune response-based, indirect test for M tuberculosis infection (including disease) and is intended for use in conjunction with risk assessment, radiography, and other medical and diagnostic evaluations. Additional testing is needed to determine if a person who has tested positive has latent tuberculosis (TB) infection or TB disease.
