From: Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT)-induced interstitial fibrosis in the lungs of rats is associated with increased levels of PDGF mRNA and the formation of unique intercellular carbon structures that bridge alveolar macrophages In Situ

Figure 2

Cytospins of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells from rats exposed to for 21 days to carbon black ultrafine particles (A–C) or single wall carbon nanotubes, SWCNT (D–F). Carbon inclusions are indicated by arrows. Carbon bridges between macrophages formed only in SWCNT-exposed rats. Original magnification (40×), inset (80×).
