Differences in Cytotoxic, Genotoxic, and Inflammatory Response of Bronchial and Alveolar Human Lung Epithelial Cells to Pristine and COOH-Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
Figure 4
Percent association of pristine and COOH-functionalized MWCNTs with A549 cells in RPMI cell medium with 10% FBS (a) and with BEAS-2B cells in BEGM cell medium (b). The value of cellular uptake was expressed as percentage of total MWCNT added to the well (mean ± SD). *, MWCNT-COOH versus MWCNTs.
