1 Changes in distribution, morphology, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha secretion of alveolar macrophage subpopulations during the development of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Bleomycin tumor necrosis factor Rattus norvegicus
2 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha secretion increased with time in 14- and 28-day samples of bleomycin-treated rats, particularly in subpopulations of densities 1.075 to 1.097 g/ml. Bleomycin tumor necrosis factor Rattus norvegicus
3 When coupled with previous studies suggesting that TNF-alpha plays a role in the fibrotic process in this disease model, these data indicate that AM of densities 1.075 to 1.097 g/ml are responsible for the production of TNF-alpha associated with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Bleomycin tumor necrosis factor Rattus norvegicus
