Synergism of TNF-α and IFN-β Triggers Human Airway Epithelial Cells Death by Apoptosis and Pyroptosis

Investigators modeled the effect of pro-inflammatory cytokines on human airway epithelial cells by culturing human airway epithelial cells BEAS-2B under different combinations of cytokines and first reported that TNF-α and IFN-β synergistically induced BEAS-2B death.
