Project Description
USA Toxicology Laboratory needed for vitro toxicity testing of 10 materials in carbon nanotubes. The assays I would be interested in would involve the use of human macrophages or possibly epithelial cells after exposure to carbon nanotubes. The assays of interest are:
1. assay of lethal toxicity utilizing MTT, LDH, or oxygen consumption assays
2. assay of oxidative stress utilizing a luminol assay
3. quantitative assay of particulate-mediated inflammatory cytokine/chemokine production by ELISA
4. fibrogenesis production via a collagen production assay
