The IFNG Response test toward M. Tuberculosis is modeled in the LB domain, in the TB-TAUG as the following:
ELISA:
ELISPOT:
There are several issues with this modeling:
- Where do you show that this challenge assay is done against the TB antigens?
- CP domain has developed a new standard variable called Test Condition Agent/CNDAGT, which is used to represent stimulating agents, like the values in ASSYAG above, should this variable be added to LB? CP Specification
- Lastly, Interferon-Gamma Response Assay is a classic immunological test, is it correct to map this to the LB domain?
- Can we model this in the IS domain, see example dataset below.
- If we model this test in IS, how do we distinguish it from the INFg test in lab. Can we draw the line where if we are running a routine lab test looking for IFNg level it goes to LB vs. IFNg response test toward a specific, known bug then it goes to IS?
- If this test remains in LB, should NHOID be added to LB in order to show the name of the bug? I remember this being discussed by Jon/Bess when they worked on the TB TAUG.
If we were to model this in IS:
Similarly if we were to model Jozef's request in IS for https://loinc.org/95971-8/ --- SARS CoV-2 stimulated gamma interferon [Presence] in Blood
