Blood RNAseq of TB contacts samples
Blood RNAseq data of tuberculosis contact samples. Contacts of patients with active pulmonary and extrapulmonary TB, with a cumulative duration of exposure of greater than eight hours in a confined space to the index case prior to initiation of treatment, were invited to participate from multiple UK TB clinics. At enrolment, IGRAs were done using the QuantiFERON-TB Plus assay (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), and peripheral blood RNA was collected into TempusTM tubes for genomewide transcriptional profiling by RNA sequencing.
