VIM and Granuloma: Overall, these scattered observations namely, the differential expression of vimentin in infected cells, polymerization of vimentin on the cell surface, presence of vimentin as antigen in granuloma presenting lymphocytes, and presence of Vimentin intermediate filaments rich cells in the peripheral fibroblastic case around aggregated lymphocytes, may have an inter-dependent or independent role of vimentin in the granuloma formation and progression of the disease.
