ESAT-6 (for 6-kDa early secreted antigenic target) is a secreted antigen found almost exclusively in organisms of theMycobacterium tuberculosis complex. We compared in vitro gamma interferon (IFN-γ) responses by peripheral blood mononuclear cells to this antigen in patients with pulmonary disease due to eitherMycobacterium avium complex (MAC) orMycobacterium tuberculosis with those in healthy, skin test-negative, control subjects. Significant IFN-γ responses to ESAT-6 were detected in 16 (59%) of 27M. tuberculosis pulmonary disease patients, 0 (0%) of 8 MAC disease patients, and 0 (0%) of 8 controls. Significant IFN-γ responses toM. tuberculosis purified protein derivative were detected in 23 (85%) of 27M. tuberculosis disease patients, 2 (25%) of 8 MAC disease patients, and 5 (63%) of 8 healthy controls.M. avium sensitin was recognized in 24 (89%) of 27M. tuberculosis disease patients, 4 (50%) of 8 MAC disease patients, and 1 (13%) of 8 controls. IFN-γ responses to ESAT-6 are specific for disease due toM. tuberculosis and are not observed in patients with MAC disease or in healthy controls.
