Using autopsy derived lung samples from untreated TB diseased individuals, this report, by applying morphoproteomics, demonstrates that the alveolar macrophages present in the early lesion of TB are primarily of the M2 phenotype. The M2 foamy alveolar macrophages (FAM) are also loaded with MTB antigens by immunohistochemistry and are paucibacillary. Moreover, the M2 alveolar macrophages predominately express PD-L1, leading to suppression of PD-1+ lymphocytes and host immunosurveillance. These morphoproteomic analyses indicate that early
