Interferon-Gamma Release Assays (IGRAs) are whole-blood tests that can aid in diagnosing Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

Two IGRAs that have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are commercially available in the U.S: QuantiFERON®-TB Gold In-Tube test (QFT-GIT); T-SPOT®.TB test (T-Spot).
