Cell-in-cell (CIC) rates are positively associated with apoptosis and necrosis and negatively with viability. A Viability of live-stained peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) co-incubated for 12 h to 48 h with BEAS-2B as host cells. B Linear regression of the death rate of PBMC over co-incubation time. C CIC rate over co-incubation time. Correlation of (D) apoptosis and (E) necrosis rates and (F) viability with CIC rates
