Assessment of Pulmonary Fibrogenic Potential of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes in Human Lung Cells

<table>Induction of FGF-2 by MWCNT in lung fibroblasts. Fibroblast CRL-1490 cells were exposed to the indicated concentrations of SD-MWCNT or Survanta for 48 h and analyzed for FGF-2 expression by Western blotting. FGF-2 expression levels were quantified using gel densitometry. Plots are mean ± S.D. from 4 independent experiments. *<svg height="11.25" id="M11" style="vertical-align:-0.30096pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 56.150002 11.25" width="56.150002" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
