Activation of NLRP3 in isolated monocytes after 24 h exposure was measured as conversion of proIL-1β to IL-1β, which was detected using HEK-Blue™ IL-1β cells. Untreated isolated monocytes were used as a negative control. LPS was used as positive standard of NLRP3 induction. MCC950 was used as specific inhibitor of MWCNT induction of NLRP3. The symbol *** p < 0.001 highlights the statistical significance as compared to the corresponding control.
