Figure 8From: Biodistribution and clearance of instilled carbon nanotubes in rat lungMWCNT could inhibit the expression of IL10 and GM-CSF protein. Rats were instilled by 100 μg of CNT and quantification of (A) IL10 and (B) GM-CSF in BALF was performed by ELISA multiplex (Luminex) after 1, 7, 30, 90, 180 days. Results are the mean of ± SD obtained on 6 rats. * Significantly different (p < 0.05) from control group.Back to article page
