From: Why does the hemolytic activity of silica predict its pro-inflammatory activity?
Correlation between hemolytic activity and IL-1β release caused by silica particles. Percent of hemolysis at silica concentration of 100 cm2/ml and release of IL-1β (pg/ml) from murine primary macrophages at silica concentration of 20 cm2/ml were compared by linear regression analysis. Values for hemolysis (%) are means of three to five independent experiments, while values for IL-1β (pg/mL) are means ± SD including data from three independent experiments. Parametric linear regression analysis (Pearson) was applied.
