(A) BAL cells from a patient with TB (upper four panels) and from a patient with sarcoidosis (lower two panels) were analyzed by flow cytometry. Expression of CD3 and CD4 was analyzed on cells from R1. CD11b and DC-SIGN expression was analyzed on cells from R2.

(B) Distribution of the proportion of CD11b⁺DC-SIGN⁺ cells in BALs according to pathology and age. Black circles indicate ≤15 y of age; black triangles indicate ≥20 y; NC, no case.

(C) DC-SIGN (upper panels) and M. tuberculosis (lower panels) immunodetection in serial sections of a lung biopsy from a patient with TB. The pictures are representative of results obtained with samples from a total of four patients. G, granuloma.

(D) DC-SIGN immunodetection in a lung biopsy from a patient with sarcoidosis. The pictures are representative of results obtained with samples from a total of three patients.
