Lead Uptake in WT and MT-Null Cells
| Cell type | Lead uptake |
|---|---|
| WT | 8.7 ± 1.1 |
| MT-null | 4.9 ± 1.2* |
WT and MT-null cells were treated with lead for 48 hours, and intracellular lead levels (μg lead/106 cells) were measured by AAS. Data given as the mean ± SEM (n = 3).
*Significant (P < 0.05) difference from WT cells.
