Distinctive profile of alveolar macrophage-derived cytokine release induced by fibrogenic and nonfibrogenic mineral dusts
…BAL) for BAL cell populations and cytokine production in conjunction with histopathological assessment of lung tissue. Chrysotile B and short 4T30 chrysotile fibers induced chronic inflammatory reactions characterized by alveolar macrophage (AM) accumulation that resulted, respectively…

Bidirectional modulation of TNF-alpha production by alveolar macrophages in asbestos-induced pulmonary fibrosis
…alpha mRNA in AMs. These data indicate that lower levels of TNF-alpha resulted from inhibition at the gene expression level and provide evidence for bidirectional modulation of TNF-alpha production by AMs during inflammatory reactions.

Selective differences in macrophage populations and monokine production in resolving pulmonary granuloma and fibrosis
Alveolar macrophages (AM) and their production of interleukin-1-like activity (IL-1) and macrophage-derived growth factor for fibroblasts (MDGF) were examined during chronic inflammatory reactions leading to either granuloma formation or fibrosis. Groups of…
