Figure 2

Ultrastructural localization of TiO 2 NP in lung tissue. TiO2NP (arrows): A) in a vesicle of a macrophage that is closely associated with the alveolar epithelium (arrow heads); a) high magnification micrograph of the NP-containing vesicle. B) in large vesicle of macrophage containing lamellar structures (surfactant); b) high magnification micrograph of the NP-containing phagolysosome. C) and D), in vesicles of alveolar type 2 epithelial cells. Note the close association of the TiO2NP to the vesicle membrane.
