Fig. 2 — Micronucleus (MN) frequency results for the 5 PAHs that elicited positive responses in this assay in reticulocytes (RETs) and normochromatic erythrocytes (NCEs). Plots show results for (A) benzo(a)pyrene, (B) dibenz(a,h)anthracene, (C) benzo(b)fluoranthene, (D) benzo(k)fluoranthene, and (E) dibenzo(a,l)pyrene. Percent micronucleated blood cells (i.e., % MN) ± standard error are displayed for each tissue and dose. Statistical results for the overall dose–response relationship are presented for both tissues. Results of the custom contrasts for each dose vs. control are marked with an *, indicating significance at p < 0.05.
