Eligible participants for both screening and verification sets were randomly selected from the based-RCT in a 1:1 ratio by age and gender. Reversion was defined as a decrease in IFN-\u03b3 levels from &amp;gt;0.70 IU\/ml prior to treatment to 0.20 IU\/ml within 1 week of treatment. The predictive ability of the candidate proteins was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Totally, two sample sets for screening (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 40) and validation (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 60) were included. Each of them included an equal number of subjects with persistent positive or reversed QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT) results after LTBI. A total of 2,321 exosome proteins were detected and 102 differentially expressed proteins were identified to be associated with QFT reversion. Proteins with high confidence and original values intact were selected to be further verified. Totally, 9 downregulated proteins met the criteria and were validated. After verification, C4BPA and S100A9 were confirmed to be still significantly downregulated (fold change &amp;lt;0.67,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&amp;lt; 0.05). The respective areas under the ROC curve were 0.73 (95% CI: 0.57\u20130.89) and 0.69 (95% CI: 0.52\u20130.86) for C4BPA and S100A9, with a combined value of 0.78 (95% CI: 0.63\u20130.93). The positive and negative predictive values for combined markers were 70.10% (95% CI: 50.22\u201386.30%) and 55.63% (95% CI: 29.17\u201361.00%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our findings suggest that downregulated C4BPA and S100A9 in plasma exosomes might be associated with a host positive response to LTBI treatment.
