Figure 4From: Carbon black nanoparticles induce type II epithelial cells to release chemotaxins for alveolar macrophagesMacrophage migration induced by L-2 cell supernatant following treatment with 125 μg/ml fine and nanoparticle TiO2 and carbon black (striped bars indicate cell free treatments). ZAS and conditioned media from L-2 cells treated with TNFα (1 ng/ml) represent positive controls. Asterisks denote a significant increase compared to the negative control (* p < 0.05). Significant increases from the appropriate cell-free treatments are denoted by a dollar ($ p < 0.01).Back to article page
