Figure 1. Low concentrations of inorganic, ethyl, or methylmercury do not affect cell viability.

Figure 1

PBMCs isolated from six volunteers were treated with the specified concentrations of each mercury species (up to 200 nM) in the presence of 50 ng/ml LPS. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The optical density for cells treated with LPS only was set to be 100% viability, and each treatment condition is compared to this control. No statistically significant changes in viability were observed.
