Macrophage Cells Secrete Specific Cytokines and Accumulate Activated Interferon Regulatory Factor 3 after Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Exposure
The health consequences of human exposure to carbon-based nanomaterials are not fully understood and the effects that such materials have on the immune system have not been adequately characterized. To determine if the innate immune system is modulated by exposure to carbon-based nanomaterials, the extracellular accumulation of an array of cytokines was measured in cell culture media obtained from mouse macrophage cells (RAW264.7) following exposure to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or fullerene (C60).
