Laboratory Support

Actiphage is a novel bacteriophage-based assay designed to infect and lyses active Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) to release bacterial DNA for PCR based detection. Actiphage may play an important role in tuberculosis drug and vaccine research.

Actiphage is a novel bacteriophage-based assay that infects and lyses active Mtb to release bacterial DNA for PCR based detection.

In clinical studies Actiphage has been shown to have:

  • higher specificity and sensitivity than current tests for Latent TB Infection (LTBI)
  • sensitivity of 73% and specificity of 100% in symptomatic patients with suspected Pulmonary TB (PTB)
  • specificity of 94% for all patients, with no change in sensitivity
