A survey of the literature and a variety76–80 of RNA-seq datasets from macrophage-Mtb infection experiments reveal modest or nonexistent induction of VEGFA, further supporting the notion that extracellular exposure to Mtb may be an important element of the angiogenic response and may reflect some aspects of the macrophage-Mtb interface within granulomas. The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is Granuloma.
