Schematic representation of control of Mtb CDC1551-infection and establishment of LTBI in rabbit lungs. SDEG in the rabbit lungs at 2, 4, 8 and 12Â weeks post-infection was used for modeling. The blue arrow (right) indicates the kinetics of the host protective immune response to infection in the rabbit lungs over time, from exposure to establishment of LTBI. The gene symbols in the boxes next to immune cells were obtained from SDEG in CDC1551-infected rabbit lungs at each time point.
