All LPS/zVAD treatments were: LPS (10£¿ng/ml) and zVAD (50£¿¦ÌM/ml). In all cases of IFN¦Â pre-treatment (overnight or 1£¿h), the IFN¦Â is washed away before addition of experimental conditions. Time point cytotoxicity quantification£¿¡À£¿SD from three independent experiments compared using student two tailed t-test: ns non-significant (p£¿>£¿0.05); *p£¿<£¿0.05; **p£¿<£¿0.01; ***p£¿<£¿0.001. All western blot and kinetic cytotoxicity data are representative of three or more experiments. See related supplementary Figure %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6329789/
