Usefulness of myeloperoxidase as a biomarker for the ranking of pulmonary toxicity of nanomaterials

Abstract Background In order to examine whether myeloperoxidase (MPO) can be a useful marker for evaluating the pulmonary toxicity of nanomaterials, we analyzed MPO protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples obtained from previous examinations of a rat model. In those examinations we per...
