2. FIG. 1
Protein patterns of sputum. (a) A representative TB example is shown. (b) A representative control sample is shown. The resulting two samples containing 150 μg protein were added to pH 3–10, non-linear DryStrips (24 cm long; Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The p values for these spots in three independent experiments were <0.05.

3. FIG. 2
The result of the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight/time of flight-mass spectrometry MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS analysis of the protein IL-25. It was identified to be human IL-25 (NCBI accession number: ) by protein database search. (a) Peptide mass fingerprint. (b) MS/MS profile of the peptide with a mass of Da; amino acids indicated as ASEDGPLNSR; confidence score %.

4. FIG. 3
Confirmation of IL-25 expression by ELISA. The data showed that IL-25 had an increased abundance in the TB group compared with the control group. #The p value for IL-25 was <0.05 in the active TB group compared with the controls.
