The ELISPOT assay is effective for the diagnosis of primary and secondary syphilis. The presence of circulating ASC suggests persistent active infection in some patients during the latent disease stage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
