Fig. 3From: Single-walled carbon nanotubes modulate pulmonary immune responses and increase pandemic influenza a virus titers in miceChanges in immune cell profiles in BALF from mice exposed to SWCNT and IAV. C57BL/6 mice were exposed to SWCNT (20 μg per mouse) on day 0 and then to IAV (3.2×104 TCID50 per mouse) on day 3. On day 7 mouse lungs were lavaged with PBS and immune cells were counted; a total immune cell counts (number / mL), b percentage of immune cell types, and numbers of c neutrophils d lymphocytes and e monocytes (number / mL). Results are presented as mean±SEM of 4–6 mice per group. Letters indicate significant differences between groups (P < 0.05)Back to article page
