Induction of citrullinated proteins in mice sera following nickel nanomaterials exposure. (a) Serum samples from nickel nanomaterial-injected mice, vehicle control and untreated mice (N/T) were probed by immunoblotting technique for citrullinated proteins. (b) Densitometric quantitation of citrullinated protein bands indicated a significant increase in protein citrullination due to nickel nanomaterials exposure compared to vehicle and untreated controls. Data are representative of three independent experiments (mean ± S.E.). *p < 0.05 with respect to corresponding controls. Note: western blot gels were adapted to fit within composite image, full gel images are provided in Supplemental Information (Figure S2).
