Video 7C: Granuloma undergoing dissemination (days 19 to 21 PI)

To play the video, click on the graphic image above
Formation of disseminated granuloma begins. One hour and 40 minutes into day 19 PI, a resting macrophage phagocytoses the extracellular Mtb left behind when an infected neutrophil died. When the macrophage phagocytoses the extracellular Mtb, it changes color from green (for resting macrophage) to orange (for infected macrophage). Shown are the 2D xy-locations of the simulated agents over time, from days 19 to 21 PI. Macrophages (green -- resting, orange -- infected, red -- chronically infected, blue -- activated), T cells (cantaloupe -- Tgam, maroon -- Tcyt, cyan -- Treg), extracellular Mtb (brown cross). Cells infected with Mtb are outlined in black. Caseum not shown.






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.
