Immune adherence reactivity of rat alveolar macrophages following inhalation of crocidolite asbestos
…a statistically significant difference. Sheep red cells, which cannot take part in this reaction, stuck far less to macrophages from exposed rats. Treating the cells with antiserum against the complement component C3 reduced adherence to 4…

Experimental asbestosis: an investigation of functional and pathological disturbances. II. Results for chrysotile and amosite exposures
…not until about 70 weeks for animals exposed when three months old. No fibrotic reaction was seen during the 70 weeks of the amosite experiments. The relationships between pathological and functional changes throughout these experiments are…

Correlation between the tissue response and asbestos fiber content
…and here secondary factors may be concerned. Electron microscopy suggests that optically visible fibers constitute a reasonably constant proportion of the total irrespective of the pathological reaction. Light microscopy may thus afford a guide to the…
