15 Summary of Preliminary Data of TB-LAMP TB-LAMP + - Amplicor a) Results of TB-LAMP showed good correlation with the Amplicor s results. b) Concordance rate of TB-LAMP indicating TB-positive was 90% (18/20; with Amplicore positive samples). c) Results of TB-LAMP gave good agreement with the results of Amplicor (25/25; in case of smear negative samples). 15

18 Evaluation of Direct method with sputum specimens NALC-NaOH Direct method + +/- +/ Culture Culture a) In general, Direct method showed good correlation with the NALC method. b) There were a few samples, which showed discrepant results which could have been due to the following reasons. - interference with the fluorescence signal by Haeme - non-homogeneous samples and insufficient samples - false labeling of the samples c) Eiken shall investigate further samples. 18

19 Conclusion TB-LAMP assay provides: Rapid: Results can be obtained within two hours including DNA extraction. Simple: Whole assay procedure is very simple and easy to operate. It does not require any sophisticated equipments. Specific: It detects TB complex specifically (no cross reaction with NTB). Sensitive: 10 copies of TB DNA can be detected. 19

20 EIKEN will contribute to the global health through LAMP based diagnostic tools. Acknowledgment: We would like to express great appreciation to FIND for providing us precious samples and valuable advise. 20
