Violin plot showing medians and distributions of VDR expression (relative units) by patient group and macrophage stimulation condition. Expression of vitamin D receptor (VDR) in PBMC derived macrophages from uninfected persons, latently infected persons and persons with previous pulmonary TB and previous extrapulmonary TB after overnight stimulation. Macrophages were stimulated for two hours with live M. tuberculosis (H37Rv, MOI 5–10), gamma-irradiated M. tuberculosis (10 μg/mL), and M. tuberculosis lipoprotein (LpqH, 10 μg/mL). VDR expression levels were assessed by qPCR and normalized to Gapdh levels. Experiments were performed in duplicate
