Interestingly, no differences in the phenotype of infiltrating alveolar macrophages was detected (Supplementary Fig. 3c–e), nor were any significant alterations in the expression of GM-CSF or secretion of IL-6 and TNFα observed in KK and KP tumor cells (Supplementary Fig. 3f–h) that could explain the difference in macrophage recruitment between the KK and KP tumor subgroups. This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and neoplasm.
