Figure 6.
Effect of silica on plasma DNA levels. Silica in varying doses was injected intraperitoneally (open arrow). Plasma samples were collected and assayed for DNA (A). In a separate experiment, 108 necrotic Jurkat cells were administered (solid arrow) following silica treatments (open arrows), and plasma DNA levels were measured (B). Each point represents the mean (± SEM) for 2 mice.
