Figure 6

Representative cytospin images of lavaged cells from the pleural space after 24 hour treatment with AgNWs. A) AgNW3 inside a pleural macrophage showing complete phagocytosis. B) Pleural macrophage with a fully phagocytosed AgNW5 (B) and AgNW10 (C). D) A pleural macrophage with increased cell size to phagocytose AgNW14. E) Frustrated phagocytosis after AgNW28 exposure. 3 macrophages sharing 2 long fibres. All images are shown at 100x magnification with a 10 μm scale bar.
