Surfactant production and macrophage viability at the air-liquid interface (ALI). Co-cultures of A549 cells with wild type (WT), CASP1−/−, and NLRP3−/− THP-1 cells as well as A549 mono-cultures were fixed after 48 h of cultivation at the ALI. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33342. Immunostaining of surfactant protein C (SP-C) and CD45 was performed. Representative images were obtained at 100 x magnification
