ESTABLISHMENT
ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGE
INGESTS TB BACILLI
M. tuberculosis blocks
phagolysosome formation by
inhbiting Ca2+ signals and the
recruitment and assembly of the
proteins that mediate phagosomelysosome fusion
SYMBIOSIS
SYMBIOSIS
Incapable alveolar macrophage bursts.
New monocytes from blood are recruited
to the site mainly by c5a, Monocyte
Chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)
TB bacilli multiplies in these non
activated monocytes.
7-21 days (<3weeks) primary TB.
Comes to an end when Th1 cells enters
the site
Secrete IFN
Activates
Macrophag
es
TCELL
Kills the inactivated
macrophages which were
allowing the tb bacilli
growth inside them
ACTIVATED MACROPHAGES
WALLS OFF THE EXPANDING
CAVITY AND PREVENTS
FURTHER INCREASE IN
SIZE IN HOST WITH GOOD
