Mechanism for uptake of silica particles by monocytic U937 cells.

Human & experimental toxicology - 1 Jul 2000

Hetland G, Namork E, Schwarze P E, Aase A

Abstract excerpt

We examined the mechanism for uptake by monocytic cells of particles found in the atmosphere of some industrial work places. As a model system, irregular crystalline silica particles (SPs), sphere-like cryptocrystalline microsilica particles (MPs) and carbon particles (CPs) were exposed to pro-monocytic U937 cells. Plasma-treated SP and MP, but not CP, activated the alternative complement pathway, but bound...
