Supplemental Data 2
Simulation of M1/M2 macrophage dynamics in a granuloma over 200 days


This video shows M1 (green)-M2 (red) dynamics of the granuloma in Figure 9A of the main text. It is a caseous granuloma, with 2x105 CFU at day 200 post infection (mostly extracellular and replicating in the middle [brown]), average ratio (M1-M2) ~0.25 at day 200. The threshold to assign macrophages to either M1 or M2 is 0.5 (if threshold > 0.5, the macrophage is M1). The ~Sx~T represents a necrotic spot, where no cell is alive and the extracellular bacteria (if any) are dormant. The grey squares represent vascular sources (entry points for macrophages and T cells).

Supplemental Data 3
Simulation of M1/M2 macrophage dynamics in a granuloma over 200 days


This video shows M1 (green)-M2 (red) dynamics of the granuloma in Figure 9C of the main text. It is a small caseous granuloma, with 200 CFU at day 200 post infection (both intracellular and extracellular in the center of the granuloma), average ratio (M1/M2) ~0.37 at day 200. The threshold to assign macrophages to either M1 or M2 is 0.5 (if threshold > 0.5, the macrophage is M1). The grey squares represent vascular sources (entry points for macrophages and T cells).
