Cytokine release after 24 h exposure to 20 and 40 μg/mL of pristine MWCNTs and to 1, 5, 10, 20, and 40 μg/mL of MWCNT-COOH in A549 cells (a). Cytokine release after 24 h exposure to 5, 20, and 40 μg/mL of pristine MWCNTs and to 20 and 40 μg/mL of MWCNT-COOH in BEAS-2B cells (b). Data represent the means of three independent experiments. *.
