Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore the differences of the silica-induced inhibition on cellular proliferation and hprt gene mutagenesis between lung fibroblasts and alveolar type II cells. METHODS: The proliferation inhibitive cytotoxicity was detected by MTT (3-[4,5-Dimethylthiazolzyl]-2,5-Diphenyl Tetrazolium Bromide) colorimetric method. Mutation in the hprt gene was screened by culture in the presence of the toxic purine...
