Smits, Fabrizio Palmieri, Delia Goletti, Tom H. M. OttenhoffCD14, CD3 and CD20 cell distribution within lung tissues of patients died for TB, pneumonia, or causes other than pneumonia. Representative histological examination of lung specimens from autopsies of control patients died for causes other than pneumonia (n = 5) (a, d, g, j), for bacterial pneumonia (n = 10) (b, e, h, k) or for pulmonary TB (n = 10) (c, f, i, l). Samples were stained with CD14 Ab, CD3 Ab, CD20 Ab and Ki67 Ab. In TB patients B-cells are found mainly around the granuloma (m) or as aggregates near vessels (n). Original magnification (OM), 200x.
