The invention provides an unbiased method to assess the binding of a test compound to a multiplicity of proteins in the same sample, including samples from living cells by applying the unbiased determination technique of SWATH-MS or the biased technique of SRM-MS to a thermal shift assay to evaluate drug target interactions. In addition, the results created by SWATH-MS can be analyzed by SRM-MS in a biased manner to assess the binding of a test compound to a multiplicity of proteins in the same sample, including samples from living cells.

Method to obtain unbiased identification of interaction of test compounds with the proteome

Point of care methods to detect the probability or status of tuberculosis infection in individuals by determining presence or absence of one or more peptide of SEQ ID NOS:1-22 in a biological fluid of a subject are described. These methods may be assays based on affinity reagents specifically reactive with these peptides.
