Granuloma Formation (VIDEO)

Texas Biomedical Research Institute

Caption

Watch granuloma formation in real time: The researchers isolate blood immune cells from volunteers and then infect them with TB in a biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) laboratory at Texas Biomed. A live cell microscope captures what happens next: clusters of cells forming around the bacteria, which are granuloma-like structures.
