We retrospectively analysed results of serially tested subjects in a medical laboratory in Germany over a time period of 14 years. From October 2004 to December 2018, a total of 5440 subjects were identified with a second T-SPOT.TB test after a median time interval of 258 days (interquartile range [IQR] 62-665). Consistently negative (n = 4520) or positive results (n = 682) were observed in 5202 (95.6%) subjects, indicating a high degree of concordance in serial testing (κ = 0.83). Test conversions occurred in 101 of 4621 (2.2%) subjects with initially negative tests. Of 819 subjects with initially positive test results, 137 (16.7%) had a test reversion which was associated with low spot numbers of the first test. Of 529 subjects retested within 1 year, only 60 (11.3%) displayed a test reversion. In subjects retested after more than 1 year, 77 of 290 (26.6%) tests reverted. This significantly higher rate of test reversions after more than 1 year was age-dependent and only observed in subjects above the age of 40 years. In the medical laboratory, the T-SPOT.TB test demonstrates a high reproducibility in serial testing.To investigate the effect of benzalkonium chloride (BAC) addition to ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) release, as well as attachment and proliferation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) on dentin. A total of standard 268 human dentin disks were prepared and immersed in 1.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) for 5 min. The disks were rinsed with distilled water and randomly divided into seven groups. In control group, the disks received no further treatment. The remainin
