Phagocytic ability of macrophages from individuals with different TB phenotypes. Monocyte-derived macrophages from patients at day 7 were treated with Alexa 547-beads coated with either immunoglobulin-G (IgG), trehalose 6,6'-dimycolate (TDM) or β-glucan. Phagocytic ability was determined by the percentage of macrophages with beads in three TB phenotypes (55 TB meningitis, 52 pulmonary TB and 56 latent TB). Bars in plots represent median values. Comparisons across three groups of TB forms or genotypes were performed by using one-way analysis of variance. On these comparisons, P-values >0.05.
