Mechanisms for how inhaled multiwalled carbon nanotubes suppress systemic
L. A. Mitchell12, F. T. Lauer2, S. W. Burchiel2 and J. D. McDonald1 The potential health effects of inhaling carbon nanotubes are important because of possible exposures in occupational settings. Previously, we have shown mice that have inhaled multiwalled carbon nanotubes have suppressed systemic immune function. Here, we show the mechanisms for this immune suppression. Mice were exposed to 0, 0.3 or 1 mg m3 multiwalled carbon nanotubes for 6 h per day for 14 consecutive days in whole-body...
