Suppressive Effect of Hydroquinone, a Benzene Metabolite, on In Vitro Inflammatory Responses Mediated by Macrophages, Monocytes, and Lymphocytes

Figure 5

Effect of hydroquinone on the phagocytic uptake of FITC-labeled dextran. RAW264.7 cells ( ) were incubated with in the indicated concentrations of HQ (hydroquinone) in the presence or absence of 1 mg/mL of FITC-labeled dextran for 30 minutes. The uptake of dextran was detected by flow cytometric analysis as described in Section 2. represents significant difference as compared to control.
