From: In vitro cytotoxicity of Manville Code 100 glass fibers: Effect of fiber length on human alveolar macrophages

Figure 2

Inhibition of zymosan-stimulated primary human alveolar macrophage chemiluminescence following an18 hour exposure to JM-100 glass fibers. Data are presented as percent control from 100%. Bars represent mean values ± S.E of three independent experiments. * - indicates a significant difference between the lowest (4 × 105 fibers/ml or 1:1 fiber:cell) and intermediate (4 × 106 fibers/ml or 8:1 fiber:cell) fiber concentrations, †- between the lowest and highest (4 × 107 fibers/ml or 80:1 fiber:cell) fiber concentrations, and $ - between the intermediate and highest fiber concentrations of the same fiber length (p ≤ 0.05). Fiber length did not affect human alveolar macrophage function.
