In vivo TGF-β1 induction by PLB-985 cells. Viable PLB or apoptotic PLB cells (ApoPLB) and apoptotic Jurkat T cells (ApoJ) were injected into thioglycollate-stimulated peritonea. In the lavage fluid and cells obtained 1 hour later, (a) phagocytic indexes were comparable in the ApoPLB and ApoJ groups. (b) Viable PLB and ApoPLB cells failed to induce TGF-β1, in comparison with ApoJ. *P < 0.02, n ≥ 10, ± SD.
