Upon analysis, IL-1α was found to be negatively correlated with viable events measured in non-CF AEC only (r = −0.63, p < 0.0001), positively correlated with necrotic events measured in CF AEC (r = 0.80, p < 0.0001), as well as apoptotic events measured in non-CF (r = 0.47, p = 0.0011) (Figures 3A–C). The gene discussed is IL1A; the disease is cystic fibrosis.
