parameter	LTBI	Mtb naive	p-value
BAL cell count	1.38e7 (+/− 6.29e6)	1.82e7 (+/−7.45e6)	0.2221
Differential counts (%)
macrophages	91.14 (+/− 11.03)	92.75 (+/− 3.91)	0.7354
lymphocytes	2.99 (+/− 2.51)	4.78 (+/− 2.75)	0.1788
neutrophils	5.71 (+/− 11.44)	2.25 (+/− 2.07)	0.4780
eosinophils	0.15 (+/− 0.22)	0.22 (+/− 0.40)	0.6336
CD4:CD8 ratio	3.14 (+/−1.43)	3.38 (+/− 1.58)	0.7372

BAL parameters of samples from LTBI and Mtb-naïve subjects used in microarray assessments of gene expression. As noted, no significant differences were observed between the two groups with regard to total or differential cell counts, or to BAL CD4:CD8 ratios. P-values were determined from non-paired t-tests as assessed with Prism software.
