[IgG antibody levels to mycobacterial antigen 60 in a healthy population of the province of Granada].
We have studied in the present report 86 sera from healthy individuals from Granada province with the aim of determining the serum antibody threshold level which would correlate in our media with the absence of tuberculous disease. These antibodies were detected by an ELISA method (Anda Tb) which looks for the presence of antibodies against mycobacteria 60 antigen. We establish that in our media the threshold level should be established in 200 for healthy adults and in 100 IU for healthy children.
