Fig E1 Efferocytosis by sputum macrophages and blood monocytes. A, Sputum was induced and processed as reported in the Methods section, and efferocytosis was assessed from cytospin preparations by using light microscopy. A representative image is shown. B, Efferocytosis of 5-μm carboxylated beads by monocytes was assessed by using light microscopy. A representative image is shown. Black arrows indicate beads that have been ingested by monocytes compared with beads bound to the surface, as represented by the red arrow.
