Figure 3.
Effect on rate of CH12.LX cell proliferation when incubated in media from RAW264.7 macrophages treated with asbestos (35 μg/cm2) or left untreated. CH12.LX cells were incubated for 72 h and assayed by measurement of fluorescence at 530 nm. n = 6; error bar = SEM. (a) indicates that the No Treatment (Tx) Mac Media had a significant (*p < 0.05) effect on decreasing the proliferative events of CH12.LX B-lymphocytes when compared to cells only; (b) shows that the media from macrophages treated with 35 μg asbestos/cm2 significantly (*p < 0.05) decreased the proliferation rate of the CH12.LX B-lymphocytes as compared to the No Tx Mac Media.
