Abstract:
Definitive diagnosis and early start of treatment cannot be made for tuberculosis since conventional methods for detecting a  Mycobacterium tuberculosis  complex require a long time plus enormous labor and expense. Because detection is difficult to perform directly from a biological sample, if the biological sample contains no or a very small amount of the  Mycobacterium tuberculosis  complex-specific secretory protein, there is a risk infection with the  Mycobacterium tuberculosis  complex will be missed. The present kit having a treatment container and immunological assay apparatus addresses these long-standing needs for more rapidly and conveniently detecting a  Mycobacterium tuberculosis  complex, without culturing a biological sample that may contain the  Mycobacterium tuberculosis  complex, in which a biological sample can be subjected to a heat-treatment, in the container, whereby  Mycobacterium tuberculosis  complex-specific secretory protein that may be extracellularly secreted can be detected by the immunological assay apparatus.

Claim (Index 14):
A kit for detection of a  Mycobacterium tuberculosis  complex, comprising at least a treatment container in which a biological sample containing the  Mycobacterium tuberculosis  complex is subjected to a heat-treatment, and an immunological assay apparatus for detecting a  Mycobacterium tuberculosis  complex-specific secretory protein secreted by the heat-treatment.
