Table 3 Kinetochore analysis after exposure of V79-cells to asbestos cement, chrysotile and gypsum (negative control) for 48 h. The experiment was repeated twice.
From: ROS-mediated genotoxicity of asbestos-cement in mammalian lung cells in vitro
Samples | No of scored MN | Mean K- (± SD) |
|---|---|---|
Control | 200 | 68.5 ± 0.70 |
CaSO4 (3 μg/cm2) | 200 | 67 ± 2.12 |
Asbestos cement (3 μg/cm2) | 200 | 71.5 ± 1.4 |
Chrysotile (1 μg/cm2) | 200 | 73.5 ± 0.70 |
Co-exposure (3 μg/cm2 ACP and 1 μg/cm2 chrysotile) | 200 | 75 ± 2.8 |
