In November 2023, Revvity unveiled the national release of its T-SPOT TB test for the detection of latent tuberculosis during the 46th Edition of MICROCON in Lucknow. The company asserts that its product is the sole commercially accessible IGRA (interferon gamma release assay) approved by the FDA, utilizing the ELISPOT technology. This technology encompasses the process of separating, cleansing, and quantifying peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from whole blood in order to provide a consistent test and yield consistent outcomes for accurate detection, particularly in difficult-to-screen populations such as those with weakened immune systems. Given that almost 40% of the Indian population carries latent TB, it is crucial to identify the infection before it develops into active disease, which is characterized by symptoms and contagiousness. The T-SPOT TB test, which utilizes the ELISPOT technology, is the sole IGRA recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) that use a standardized sample. This helps minimize the impact of blood-related factors that could potentially impair its performance and allows for normalization in cases of cell number variation. The diagnostic recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) recognize the advantages of the normalization stage that is necessary before cell stimulation in the T-SPOT TB test.
In September 2023, Virax Biolabs Group Limited, a cutting-edge diagnostics firm specializing in detecting immune responses and diagnosing viral illnesses, announced the initiation of an early access program for the research-use-only of their exclusive SARS-Cov-2 ViraxImmune T-cell-based test. The early access program provides exclusive access to cutting-edge immune evaluation breakthroughs for chosen research organizations. The RUO (Research Use Only) version of Virax's T-cell-based test is specifically developed to evaluate the activation of memory T-cells that are specific to the SARS-Cov-2 virus. This is achieved by combining an ELISpot assay with a peptide pool that covers particular protein segments of the virus. The test necessitates the extraction of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from blood samples, which are subsequently placed onto the Company's pre-coated ELISpot plate.
