Video 7A: Granuloma undergoing dissemination (days 0 to 200 PI)

Evolution of a disseminating granuloma over the first 200 days post-infection. An infected neutrophil dies and leaves extracellular Mtb on the grid around day 7-8 PI, and a resting macrophage eventually phagocytoses the extracellular Mtb on day 19 PI. This prompts the formation/growth of a disseminated granuloma, before T cells arrive and the adaptive immune response begins. Shown are the 2D xy-locations of the simulated agents over time, from days 0 to 200 PI. Macrophages (green -- resting, orange -- infected, red -- chronically infected, blue -- activated), T cells (cantaloupe -- Tgam, maroon -- Tcyt, cyan -- Treg), extracellular Mtb (brown cross), caseum (grayscale).






Time-lapse videos corresponding to Figure 3 snapshots in main paper. These are 6 different simulations of granulomas including neutrophils and showing different outcomes.

Dissemination time-lapse videos corresponding to Figure 7A snapshot in main paper. GranSim produces simulated granulomas that reflect granulomas undergoing dissemination in experimentally-infected macaques. These three videos highlight different timeframes post-infection during the evolution of a sample neutrophil-facilitated dissemination of a granuloma.
