Blood Cell Counts following oropharyngeal aspiration of three forms of MWCNTs at 100 μg or SS vehicle control (10% surfactant saline). The cell counts were performed at 1 day post aspiration. Data reported as mean ± SEM for n = 6. * indicates significance from SS, † indicates significance from C-grade and # from N-doped MWCNT by one way ANOVA, P ≤ 0.05.
