Figure 5. Effect of Control and acid functionalized SWCNTs on PS externalization in murine erythrocytes.

Erythrocytes (0.5×10⁶ in 100 µl RPMI+1%FBS) from 6-8 weeks old C57BL/6 mice were incubated with given concentrations of control and acid functionalized SWCNTs for different time intervals at 37°C. PS externalization was studied staining with annexin V-PE antibody. Percent annexin V positive erythrocytes (mean ± SEM of three values) have been shown. *p<0.05 as compared to control.
