Exocytosis of SWCNTs by primary peritoneal macrophages. (A) Representative SEM images of exosome (green arrows) and extracellular vesicles (black arrowheads) on the surface of primary peritoneal macrophages at 24 h (Left) and 36 h (Right) after 6 h SWCNT exposure. (B) TEM images showing the SWCNTs (yellow arrows), small vesicles (red arrows), multivesicular bodies (MVBs, orange arrows) and autophagosome/autolysosome (pink arrows) in primary macrophages at 1 2 h (up panels) and 36 h (bottom panels) after removing 12 h SWCNTs (10 μg/mL) exposure. (C) NIR spectra of the supernatant of SWCNTs at different time (8–48 h). (D) SEM image of primary macrophages phagocytosis tangled SWCNTs.
