Effect of SWCNT on cell proliferation and cell viability. Subconfluent (80%) cultures of lung epithelial BEAS-2B cells were either left untreated or treated with the indicated concentrations of non-dispersed (ND-), Survanta®-dispersed (SD-), or acetone/sonication-dispersed (AD-) SWCNT, or Survanta® alone, or no treatment (No Tx) for 24 h. (A) Cell proliferation was determined by hemocytometry. (B) Cell toxicity was determined by LDH assay. Plots are mean ± S.D. (n = 4). *p < 0.05 versus non-treated control.
